AND THE MORAL IS............

November 18 2009

As fate would have it! In 1976, a 22 year old Irishman, Bob Finnegan was crossing the busy Falls Road in Belfast, when he was struck by a taxi and flung over its roof. The taxi drove away and, as Finnegan lay stunned on the road, another car ran into him, rolling him into the gutter. It too drove on. As a knot of gawkers gathered to examine the magnetic Irishman, a delivery van plowed through the crowd, leaving in its wake three injured bystanders and an even more battered Bob Finnegan. When a fourth vehicle came along, the crowd wisely scattered and only one person was hit - Bob Finnegan. In the space of two minutes Finnegan suffered a fractured skull, broken pelvis, broken leg and other assorted injuries. Hospital officials said he would recover. Nothing was said about the drivers who hit him!! Moral If you get hit by a car in Belfast, hope for your sake that Bob Finnegan is one of your ancestors!  Cheers...Jose...
