Ummm Assoc. Press... A monorail that is a 'mile high'? I really don't seem to remember Seattle's monorail as being THAT elevated. Geez, what a bunch of morons at the 'Ass Press' - no quality control. Just crank the news out and don't check it? Ass Press cranks out the BS and ABC News just prints it. No wonder we can't trust either one of them.
The train had clipped the monorail's only other train on a curve in the tracks Sunday evening, forcing the evacuation of 84 passengers from the mile-high, 43-year-old elevated line between downtown and the Seattle Center.
OOPS, mile high monorail! Haha. My my that would be quite the engineering feat not to mention a long ladder to get the people down!

Baggy Pants Trip Up Suspected ThiefA man suspected of stealing discs from a video store was tripped up by his baggy pants, falling twice before police captured him, authorities said. James Green, 30, of Detroit, took about a half-dozen DVDs on Sunday night, and initially made his getaway on a bicycle, police said. Officers spotted him in an alley, and he abandoned the bike and ran, but his pants fell to his ankles and he tripped, Ferndale Detective Sgt. Patrick Jones told The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak. "Finally, he kicked off his pants and shoes" and then jumped a fence into the backyard of a house where he was captured, Jones said. On Monday, Green pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and retail fraud and was ordered jailed for 30 days.
Aged 30 and still making his getaway on a bike? (Probably stole the bike too). Tripped on his own big-assed pants. LOL! Now I am gonna think about that everytime I see a baggy assed punk walking down the street holding up his pants. Now doesn't that make everything more difficult? You'd only have one hand to work with. Ah well, at the bottom of the human pyramid, there isn't much reasoning going on.
