Elephant falls from truck, kills circus worker
2007-12-28
SYDNEY - An elephant toppled out of a truck and killed a circus worker in Australia on Thursday, police said.
I hate when that happens.
“The man was killed, crushed to death, while the elephant was being offloaded from a truck,” a spokeswoman for the New South Wales police department said.

Police said they had no other details of the incident, which occurred on the grounds of a circus in the seaside community of Yamba, about 700 km (435 miles) north of Sydney. The victim had been the handler of the elephant, named Anna, for two years, local television reported.
I hope the lellyphant is okay.

#6  Too bad for the handler but just let your mind toy with the image of the elephant landing on a mime instead.

How would a mime - 'yell' for help? Makes me laugh - yes, I know, I'm going to hell. . . .
