Bulldozer Strikes Wrong House

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. ?? A couple was at the dinner table when a bulldozer rumbled into their home and tore the ceiling down. The bulldozer operator had the wrong address, officials said.
Yesenia Reyes and her husband were eating in the kitchen of their rented home at 5:30 p.m. Thursday when the bulldozer roared up and begin a demolition job. Their three children were away at the time.
"He came in through the back, and he just took the ceiling down. He almost came through my son's bedroom," Reyes said.
The Reyeses bounded for their door and yelled at the operator, stopping him in time to leave part of the roof intact.
No one was injured.
The president of Zara Inc., the private contractor that employed the operator and had been demolishing homes in the area, said his company would repair the damage done, estimated by Hollywood Fire-Rescue officials at $5,000.
"I can fix it in two days," said George Zaragozi, company president. "He made a mistake and thought it was supposed to be demolished."

Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve. A nation that stands alone. Cold voices, faces pale, Gathered unto their judgement day. Such words remain unspoken. Such pride remains unbroken. Just mothers to stand in vain and cry. Tears and medals in the rain. Shall I recall when justice did prevail? No reason to be found why reason did fail. The all clear resounding. The way was clear to rebuild this land. Shall I call on you to guide me well, To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascension.

Man Dies After Whale Jumps Into Boat
The Associated Press
Wednesday, September 4, 2002; 7:38 AM
PORT SAN LUIS, Calif. ?? A whale suddenly breached and crashed into the bow of a fishing boat, killing a restaurant owner on board.
Jerry Tibbs, 51, owner of Mr. Tibb's Ribs in Bakersfield, was aboard his boat The BBQ on Sunday when the whale hit and tossed him into the sea five miles off Port San Luis. Three other fishermen stayed aboard the damaged boat, which was towed to shore by the Coast Guard.
Tibbs and his three friends were just ending a day fishing for albacore when the accident occurred.
After more than 18 hours of searching, Tibbs' body was found Monday afternoon.
Coast Guard officials said it was the first time they could recall an accident caused by a whale hitting a boat.
