Philadelphia police and SEPTA officials continued their investigation yesterday into the death of a man in a wheelchair who was struck by a Route 47 bus at Eighth Street and Girard Avenue on Friday afternoon.

Milton Boneta, 61, was crossing Eighth Street in his motorized wheelchair when the bus hit him while making a left turn, police said.

In a tragic twist of fate, police said, Boneta lost a leg in September when a SEPTA bus hit him near the same location. "That's why he was in a wheelchair," said Sgt. Lawrence Ritchie of the Accident Investigation Division.

Police were trying to sort out the details of the accident and were interviewing about 35 witnesses, Ritchie said.

The investigation is "far from being over," he said.

No charges have been filed.

Dude. There are some ways people die, you just have to laugh. This is one of them.

None the less, R.I.P
 
If something happened to me so tragic that I lost a limb........ I would never return to the location of the accident! That sux!
 
Maybe they should start a law making all wheelchair people have tall red flags attached to their motorized wheelchairs.

get over it...I posted this to laugh at. Not to ridicule the man who died but laugh at the situation.

Besides the fact that he is dead I would think even he would find his situation funny from the outside looking in.

RIP...but its still funny
 
It's sorta like the one surgeon (Romano) on ER who got his arm chopped off by a helicopter on the roof of the hospital, then the next season got killed when a helicopter fell off the roof and landed on him.

Uhhhh, because it's a stupid point? Of course he wouldn't feel the same way if it was his dad. But it wasn't. So what's the point of even saying what you said if you know the answer?

You wouldn't think it was so stupid if someone was laughing at your dead dad. :ghoti:

My aunt had a stroke two years ago. She almost died, would have if she wasn't ambidextrous as the doctors wouldn't even have performed the surgery on her if she wasn't. Most of one side of her brain was destroyed.

She has physical handicaps now on one side but 99 percent of her personality and memories have returned.

Last year Family Guy had a show named McStroke or something like that where Peter Griffin had a stroke.

It wasn't funny to me, couldn't watch it. However, 90 percent of the rest of that show makes fun of all kinds of other things like that and I laugh at most of it. My perspective changed how I viewed it but that doesn't mean I was mad at the show or angry that people could find it funny. I just couldn't.

If people stop making jokes out of things that might offend others, the world will become a laugh free zone. I don't think anyone wants that.

I don't understand this. Why would they not do surgery if she wasn't ambidextrous? Would the surgery have failed? Non-stroke patients can learn to use their non-dominant hand [see, e.g. Greg Oden]. Is it that stroke patients can't learn that?

Nothing wrong with having a sense of humor, or finding humor in things that would offend some people.
But, I think you can pretty much draw the line at laughing at how someone was killed.

I mean seriously, how would you feel if that was your dad, and you saw someone laughing about it? Would you say, "oh well, that's ok for you to find humor in it, he wasn't important to you." :tsktsk:

Jesus, for somebody with a Marlyn Manson avatar you sure are sensitive

No! You dont laugh at this if its somebody you remotely know! Duh!
Nobody is happy he is dead, but might as well let him give us some humor!

Something to do with the side of her brain that was affected. I know that different sides of your brain do different things and they made it sound like she would be like a computer hard drive that was erased if she hadn't made pathways in her brain that stored memories and personality traits on both sides.

She had a piece of her skull removed and put in some type of storage, they put a plastic piece in temporarily.

I live in Vegas and she lives in Vancouver Washington so I wasn't there while it happened. I know that they said it was a very rare type of stroke, and she was only 53. I was told it was like flipping a coin as to whether or not to do the surgery, they didn't think she would survive.

I would be angry as hell. That doesn't mean I would say that people shouldn't laugh at horrible things. What is funny is funny. I won't draw the line in regards to laughter. I have laughed at some horrible stuff.
 
My guess is Sinobas doesn't follow "The Darwin Awards".
