Shocking Fall
Las Vegas, 1999 and our protagonist, 26-year-old Tod, is celebrating the coming of the new millennium. He’s so excited that he clambers up a lamp post outside of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. He waves to his adoring fans below as the countdown to the new year commences. At midnight the excitement got too much and he slips. Eager to break his fall he grabs onto the nearest thing he can reach – power lines.
It’s not clear whether it was the fall or the electrocution that killed him but either way, he died. What makes this story even better is that just after the accident, other revelers climbed lamp posts to get a better view of the deceased. It just goes to show, we’re all idiots.
