Canadians Killed By Flying Bear

June 8, 2011 at 8:03 am by  

Canadians Killed By Flying BearQuebec — Two people are dead after a 300 lb black bear flew through the windshield of a car.

We here at the Demon like our stories like hillbillies like their violence: domestic. Sometimes, though, a story that can’t be passed up comes along, just begging to make the front page. This one comes from America’s Hat, Canada.

At approximately 10:30pm Monday night, a Pontiac Sunbird traveling Highway 148 struck a black bear that had wandered onto the roadway. The impact caused the bear to be scooped up and rocketed into oncoming traffic. A Nissan Pathfinder was the unfortunate recipient of the ursine projectile, which traveled through the front windshield on the driver’s side, through to the back seat and out the back window, killing two people in the process.

I’m no smart, science-type guy, but let’s assume a conservative 50mph on each side of the road. This works out to 300lb pounds of furry (and undoubtedly confused) meat hitting you in the face at 100mph. I think.  I can imagine 300 lbs of just about anything at that speed is more than sufficient to ruin your evening. A police spokesman, Constable Martin Fournel stated “They had no chance.”  Fournel also compared the bear’s trajectory to that of a bullet.

The driver, an unidentified 25 year-old female, was killed along with 40 year-old Steve Leon, who was sitting behind her. The vehicle’s other passenger, the driver’s 28 year-old boyfriend, sustained minor physical injuries to accompany what is the no doubt horrific mental anguish of seeing your girl catch a bear to the head. The two people in the car that initially struck the bear were unharmed. The bear died.

      Wow, sounds like someone had the pedal to the metal, to be able to fling that poor bear hard enough to cause this to happen.

      First the angry beaver, now the catapulting bear. Mother Nature is trying to tell us something, and I am afraid it’s not good. By the way, it’s snowing in Hawaii.

      As a Canadian..I’m deeply disturbed by this..It doesn’t say if they wasted the bear..Or brought it home to use.. D: I wonder if I can find it… :P

      Wow unbelievable enough force to break both front and back windows and keep on trucking.  My family in NC has seen black bears walking down the shoulder of the road but they blend in so well I have never seen one.

      It looks like we’re going to need to be a hard hat.Damn moose running in the roads.Bad enough we’ve got Beavers attacking…Now the god damn bears are taking their pound(S) of flesh straight from the cars we only designed to run them over..Looks like our plan was flawed..I’m gonna think TWICE the next time I see a bear in mid air and wanna hit the gas..

       I don’t know… one of the articles stated it almost ‘scooped’ the bear up. Low to the ground, aerodynamic…I could see it.

      After more contemplation, I’ve decided that while this is sad and horrific for all involved,  it’s still an interesting way to die.  Once the boyfriend gets mucho therapy, he can write a “better than fiction” memoir, including recounting how his beloved was killed by a flying bear in her own vehicle.

      Really?  Black bears are MEAN sons of bitches.  And they don’t even taste that good.  Kinda greasy.

      I’m surprised there aren’t more deaths like this.  Apparently, when my mom was about my age, four of her friends were decapitated when they hit an elk.  It peeled the roof of the car right off like it was a sardine can.  The heads didn’t stand a chance.

      Years back(like almost two decades ago) in the area that I grew up there was a car that hit a deer. The deers hoof struck the passenger in the front seat of the car in the head killing her. Amazing enough it took place right outside a fire station so the EMT’s stationed there did an emergency C-section and saved the life of her unborn child. It was a pretty horrific accident.

      Ooo, ooo!  If we’re socks, can we be filled with rice and warmed in the microwave?  I want to be a pleasurable sock, at least.  XD

      Seriously, what would that make Mexico?  Hmmm.

      “Canadians killed by flying bear”.  I literally thought a flying bear.  You know, “Wheeeeeee!” and Canadians yelling, “INCOMING!” and taking cover.

      I wondered when bears learned to fly.  Was it after or before flying pigs?  Or was it a circus bear?

      Then I read the story and “Duuuuuhhhhhhhh”.  Either my meds need upping or I need more sleep.  Maybe both.
