NSS: Inadvertantly / Indirectly saving somoene's life
My coworker's car died 6 months ago, and i subsequently helped her select a car to purchase. Throughout the time, I was pretty adamant about her buying a car with side airbags.
She listened, and bought with side airbags as the only major criteria. Before that, she didn't even consider it. Just last friday, a coworker from an east coast office was visitng. My coworker and the visitor were driving back from lunch when her car was t-boned at full speed by a red light runner on the passenger side. The passenger had to be cut out with the jaws of life; and had to undergo emergency surgery. It was noted by doctors and paramedics that the side airbags in her car saved her, since the other vehicle was a large van/suv/pickup. My coworker; though shaken up and still in a bit of shock; thanked me today for convincing her to get a car with side airbags. I just never thought she'd actually use them.

Now the hired gun will have to go to the hospital to make his money. Talk about causing extra work for someone.

How weird and cool too.
I bet everyone who reads this will think about getting side air bags next time they buy a vehicle (I know I will). |

My car has side air bags. That was one of my only requirements.
