This guy from Austin, Texas actually survived this hook through his head in a rather nasty industrial accident...
Both of his optical nerves were severed, leaving him blind. [ 02-12-2005, 06:57 PM: Message edited by: Dace De'Briago ] |

Luckily only an xray picture, if real picture might be even scarier.

Oh, come on!
You can't just show us that and not give us the story of how he managed it. |

Uh...it's a hoax.
The Sun is not known for its factual news stories, there are absolutely NO names mentioned at ALL in the Sun story AND when googling for this story through "normal" means - knowing that at LEAST a local Texas paper would have picked it up - there is nothing about it. It's a lie. [ 02-12-2005, 07:53 PM: Message edited by: Lady Sedai ] |

I doubt very much that it is a hoax.
The Sun is the best selling newpaper in the UK, hoaxes aren't very big on their agenda (though trashy news stories are). AND Google does not instantly add news stories to its repositories, indexing takes time. |

A link to several stories on this, with other pics of the man who was hurt.
