Regardless, I sure hope the city does right by that girl and buys her a new car.
I would hope they would have no choice to do so and in fact, I would bet she will end up making out OK

I was starting to say, "Wait, a Fiat in WV???" before they said "a Marshall student".

Just the most interesting one.
Even the local news can't help themselves by interviewing the most 'stereotypical' representative of their region...smh. I suppose no different if the news in NJ ends up with Joey Bag O'Donuts and his friend Pauly or, Chicago news interviewing Aliyah and Precious.

Here is Jackson MS. Not stereotypical, but certainly memorable and funny.

This! ^^^^^ Used to be partners in a tree service company as a side job. If any property was at any risk at all we used two separate cables and two separate pull or anchor vehicles for redundancy. Never had and "oh shit" in ten years.
That guy reminds me of some friends and family, I don't see what do you guys find so funny about him.
Endeavor to persevere.

Watched a similar crew try to remove a tree for a road project. You could see phone and power lines that ran through the branches. They just started cutting the trunk. NO trimming of limbs, no attempt to protect the wires. Meanwhile I counted 5 “supervisors” smoking and joking. The tree fell taking the wires. Then in landed in the road causing a delay for us to drive by.

This is my city, about 2 miles from me. It's been the talk of the town, the past few days.
