It was just "their time": undignified deaths
(1) A 65-yr-old woman drove up to an ATM in Port Angeles, Wash., Saturday, opened the door a bit to pick up something that had fallen to the ground, had the car inch forward on her, and the door fatally squeezed her head when it contacted a protective post. (2) A 60-yr-old man, tossed in the air by joyous celebrants at his retirement party in Japan, was apparently abandoned in mid-air, hit the floor, and later died in the hospital. (3) A 43-yr-old man in Benton City, Wash., apparently set fire to a motor home to hide evidence that he had burglarized it but then failed to outrun the flames.

#2 Shenanigans! state of the global economy - A one time death benefit vs. a pension for the next 30+years? you make the call.
#1 WOW! thats Unfortunate and undignified...I hate when that happens and you are stuck behind them, that's so Inconsiderate to Die in the drive through ATM lane.

(1) - Yeee! That one is awful. I did the same thing to a rearview mirror once, and I remember watching, hearing it go, unable to stop. I can't even begin to imagine what goes through your mind when it's your head slowly being squished off (other than the door).

(1) There's been many a time that I have lost my head in a drive-thru line but this is going too far.

(2) my worst fear in life is that I'll finally get to retire and then die the next day.
