Woman falls six stories into pile of crap


Thursday, April 5, 2007

At lunchtime today, we were discussing about the trouble a colleague had to get a builder to install/repair a sceptic tank in a house in France, troubles due to language barrier. The colleague was advised to ask me … to be a translator.
For one moment I thought it was for my expertise in “toilets” :-) , so I said.
Therefore, to be true to my reputation, here is another blog post on the subject found today:

Woman falls six stories into pile of crap: “David Pescovitz:
A woman in Nanjing, China fell off a sixth floor balcony and survived thanks to a pile of poop on the ground below. From Sky News:

‘She landed in a 20cm thick heap of excrement,’ the Kuaibao tabloid newspaper gleefully reported.

‘Workers happened to be emptying the building’s septic tank, which had not been tended for a long time, and had regularly blocked sewage pipes.
