    Yep, at least there’s the solace of knowing that the moment from “something’s wrong” to crunch went by so fast that the passengers probably didn’t even hear so much as a strained groan from the frame before they were all canned person paste.

          Every year dozens of homes collapse due to Santa’s sonic booms, he is a menace and needs to be stopped!
