Riiiiiight...
Saw this emergency heli circling in our neighbourhood, so with nothing better to do (read: procrastinating my ass off) I went to see what was up. Appears a local tattoo artist attempted suicide by...
...
driving his car through the wall of a public parking garage about 8 metres up... ::)
By some miracle the car (old american one, so guess 1500kg or so) ended up top down, but this was 'luck' really. Might just as well have landed on its 4 wheels or w.e. Buuuut in the end, the emergency guys still pulled him out of the wreck alive. The roof had collapsed till carbody height, but rest of the car was pretty much intact still.
Heard from bystanders who were at the scene when it happened (or hearsay from) that his wife was at the scene, yelling loudly. He had already said his goodbyes to her. Tragic :-[
Luckily noone happened to drive, walk or whatnot at the crashsite at the time, or he might just as well have taken a whole family with him, fucking nutcase... (parking lot was above a supermarket and he ended up just in front of the entrance of the parking).
Will post piccies as soon as they appear online.

soooo he though that driving off an 8m height would cause a big enough crash to kill himself in a box designed for safety at crashes of 70mph?
retarded seriously
for those not wanting to do maths hed be doing less than 10mph on impact ;)

Newssites still say it was an accident, him accidently driving backwards in stead of forwards, but you can see he was driving forwards (backend lying away from building he came from (which is to the left in the top photo), but upside down, so was driving forward and then made half a summersault). For now I go with 'word on the street' and say TS.
