    Yikes! And I can't bring myself to read the full article... stuff like that makes me queasy.

    I remember a time when I was standing in the middle section near the window and had just moved away to go upstairs for a seat, when bang! The window I was just standing beside was knocked out by a bunch of kids throwing rocks.
