| | | | Hearn Death < Reply # 106 on 6/18/2008 1:41 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | My apologies if this has been posted already on UER, or if there is already a private discussion going on, but I read a headline today on CityNews which I think affects everyone who explores and especially those who are interested in the Hearn station. Link: http://www.citynew...ws/news_23897.aspxPicture Taking Intruder Dies Of Injuries In Three Storey Fall Tuesday June 17, 2008 CityNews.ca Staff He wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. And now it's cost him his life. A man who fell three storeys into a coal chute at the Hearn Generating Station on Unwin Ave. Sunday has died. The unidentified man was with a friend when the pair snuck into the restricted facility on the weekend, apparently to take what cops are terming "artistic photographs" of the interior of the-soon-to-be demolished building. The victim ventured out onto one of the catwalks to get a better angle when disaster struck - he lost his balance and took the terrifying tumble. His friend immediately called for help, but it was no easy rescue. The man was trapped inside the cavernous hole for three long hours, painfully pinned by a piece of metal that wound up lodged on top of him. "He fell on top of the steel plate and while he was trying to get himself out or move around he ended up sliding underneath and getting pinned," Toronto Fire Dist. Chief Paul Halls reported at the scene. It took crews a while to reach him and gingerly lift him out, realizing he'd suffered serious internal injuries. But how serious wasn't clear until doctors treated him in hospital. And despite their best efforts, he succumbed there on Tuesday. His name hasn't been released but his family has been notified. The Ministry of Labour and Police are both still probing what happened. | Godspeed to the deceased's family and friends. This is terrible news for anyone to have to read about, let alone have to live through.

| | | Posted by Wilky Did/does anybody know this guy? Was he a member here?
| He was almost certainly a member here. UER.ca is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, UE site on the internet, and certainly the biggest for Canadians. I think the quote, "pair snuck into the restricted facility on the weekend, apparently to take what cops are terming "artistic photographs" of the interior of the-soon-to-be demolished building" proves beyond any real doubt that this was a UEr. EDIT: I have received this comment in the chat, which I'm reposting here sans name. Response below. I just logged on to say, Mendori, you are a fucking idiot. Your post about the guy who fell in Hearn was the dumbest post of the year. Him being an 'explorer' does not mean he's from UER. I know dozens of 'explorers' that aren't on UER, nor do they know what it is. Your logic is flaw, and you're a completel idiot. Stop with your pretentious wannabe-elitist bullshit. | I am sorry if, in my limited knowledge of the pastime, I overly exaggerated UER.ca's popularity. In the future, I will make sure NEVER to refer to UER.ca in a positive light, as that is evidently offensive.

Yeah, after all, Hearn became easy to explore only very recently *rolls eyes*. I'm sorry to sound like Micro, but I've taken reporters, laypeople, and huge groups of 20+ people into Hearn before, with no problems. If you live anywhere within 100km of Toronto, you really have no excuse for not going other than your own laziness. Just go already and stop making excuses.
| Gee, I'm sorry I work eleven hours a day, and then decide to run errands, clean my apartment, spend time with my fiancee, take my truck for repairs, and try to spend some time with friends I haven't seen in a while, plus family that lives out of town. I'm sure Hearn is more important than all of that. o_O -Octane P.S. I've had bronchitis for two weeks as well. It sucks.
