Title: Left Eye of TLC is dead?
Post by: THX on April 25, 2002, 10:41:28 PM
Several sources on IRC saying Left Eye of R&B group TLC died in a car crash in Honduras.  Probably no fans of the group here, but this comes as a shocker especially after Aaliyah died in a plane crash last year.

*This post is currently at reliable rumor status so take with a grain of salt.* :)

Yes it is true, I don\'t have a link to the source because there isn\'t one, but it is on the bulletin to MSNBC.com and it confirms that she was killed in a car crash.

Here is a link confirming her death, tragic and sad, no one should die that young even if you didn\'t like her music.

That\'s ok, they will just be TC now.  You probably won\'t even know the difference.  I can\'t imagine that she is the musical genious of the group.

[tears]Oh yeah, I am sorry to see her go.  It is a sad sad day.[/tears]

You think they will play their smash hit Waterfalls at the viewing?

LOL

You and Chizz are insensitive bastards.  And I say that with love!

As I cannot seem to summon a tear, I\'m going to roll up one pant leg in remembrance.



(Seriously, my condolences to her friends and family)

You all remember that she was sort of a b1tch, right?  I\'m not saying that she deserved to die or anything, but let\'s not get out of hand with the mourning.  She should have been just forgotten after decades of irrelevance.  I wonder how long your entertainment career has to be over before the media decides not to report your death?  There were other much more talented musicians who died in the last few years, and were not widely reported... like Mark Sandman from Morphine or Josh Clayton Felt from School of Fish.

Man I was so shocked when I woke up and saw this scrolling on mtv. Left eye was one of my fav\'s I am so sad to see her go.

They said she was was driving a montero that flipped over. I heared those have horrible rollover rates. I can\'t remember what company makes montero.

Post by: mm on April 26, 2002, 01:30:47 PM
yeah, when a SUV flips over...



ITS THE DUMB ASS DRIVERS FAULT!


what, do you think they just spontaneously decide to flip over?
perhaps a stiff breeze caused it

this is like feeling bad for someone cause they died over a drug overdose, ie. Layne Stayley

Excuse me MM but the driver and safety commission tested the montero and reported that it had a huge turn overrate and gave it a very very low safety rating. They basicly said it should be recalled for safety. I don\'t understand why it wasen\'t

Improving vehicle safety and increasing driver training go hand in hand.  I\'ve heard extremists on both sides say that we need only one, and we should forget about the other.   I do not agree.

In my opinion, SUVs are inherently less safe than other vehicles due to their higher center of gravity, increased mass, and reduced stopping distance.  In spite of that, drivers would have not problems if they fully understood the characteristics of the vehicle they\'re driving, and didn\'t try to drive a Cadillac Escalade like it was a Ford Festiva.  

People are dumb and we need to protect them from themselves, but we also need to teach these idiots how to drive.

WTF does that have to with a certain truck having a increasing how chance of flipping over? All the driving in world can\'t help if the truck is not safe.

Yes SUV\'s have a higher chance to roll, but in 80%, if not more cases of roll, its is driver error.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

if an SUV flips, its the drivers fault.  why, you may ask

cause they are doing something they shouldnt be, like speeding or not slowing down for weather conditions

they dont magically flip over by themselves

if someone drives an SUV, they should know how to drive one
end of story

wtf!!!!! maybe you can\'t hear me. MONTEROS ARE NOT SAFE SUV\'S. THEY HAVE HIGH ROLLOVER RATES. That means under normal conditions the truck is likely to flipover when it shouldn\'t.

Now thats the end of the story.

uhh..yea..dont make me give you the award I gave vapor snake earlier. Like mm siad..SUV\'s DO NOT magically roll over....

All *high roll over rate* means..basically a verbal idiot light( check engine light on a dash board) for people who are to stupid to figure out that you cant drive something with a higher center of gravity as you would a vehicle with a low center of gravity.

So in closeing NO FOCKING SUV IS UNSAFE PROVIDED THE DRIVER HAS LEAST HALF A FOCKING BRAIN!!!!
Title: Left Eye of TLC is dead?
Post by: mm on April 26, 2002, 06:34:29 PM
if someone flips an SUV, there an idiot and really shouldnt be driving one anyways

its common knowledge that they tend to flip over more than traditional cars due to thier higher center of gravity so why is it so alarming when they do?

i bet her beneficiary will try and sue the manufacturer, ehhe

she would have been safer in, how do i say, a "bling bling" mercedes

or perhaps its some secret consipracy for population control that punish people for driving those monstrocities

Everybody in the music industry knows that tupac lived the exact same life he rapped about. He rapped about thug life and he lived it.

And pac was actually in Digital Underground. Pac was the only true thug hate on him all you want. He was what he rapped about.
