PATTAYA: -- A 7-11 convenient store clerk was shocked when a Russian woman suddenly fell through the roof of the shop’s storage area onto the floor right beside him.

 

The woman’s plunge began from the fourth floor of the same commercial building in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district early Sunday morning.

 

Following the 3am report of a foreigner seriously injured from the fall, police and rescue worker went to the 7-11 store in Pattaya Park Moo 10. There they found the seriously wounded 37-year-old Russian woman on the storage floor in the back of the shop accompanied by her husband and son. 

 

Store clerk Siripong Khachaiphum, 19, told police he was checking inventory and shelving goods in the back storage when the woman fell through the roof right next to him.

 

“I was shock and ran out of there to alert fellow workers to call police,” he said.

 

The initial police investigation found that the Russian woman and family stayed at the fourth floor of the same building. Officers are probing whether her fall was accidental, she intentionally jumped, or was pushed. Neighbours told police they heard the sound of fighting before the fall.

PATTAYA: -- A foreign woman caused panic in a Pattaya convenience store after she fell through the roof onto an employee.

 

The unnamed and bloodied 37 year old woman was seriously injured and sent to hospital.

 

An employee at the Soi Pattaya Park shop, nineteen year old Siriphong, said that the woman literally fell on him as he was checking stock in a back of the shop storeroom.

 

He said that he fled out front in a panic as the cops were called.

 

Sanook reported that the woman fell from a fourth floor room through the roof of the convenience store.

 

She had been having a noisy argument with her husband. The husband and her son rushed to the store after the 3.30 am incident.

 

Police are talking to the husband to get to the bottom of what happened.

 

The nationality of the family involved was not mentioned though a lot of Russians are known to stay in the area.

Why not ?

 

A 7/11 in Thailand is open 24/24 everyday

So why does the headline say a Russian Woman Fell.....??

Force = mass x acceleration.

No... Force = Mass X Velocity^2
If a skydiver has reached terminal velocity his acceleration has become zero but when he hits the ground the force is not zero.

Yeah... they normally are doing that on the computer behind the check-out desks at peak business times.

Because that's what The Nation chose to report.

But since she wasn't skydiving and had only traversed 30 m at most, she was still accelerating.

Smells like... Boredom!

""Police are talking to the husband to get to the bottom of what happened.""

 

Police didn't check passports to find out their nationality ?

 

""The nationality of the family involved was not mentioned though a lot of Russians are known to stay in the area.""

 

But the headline says:

Russian woman falls 4 stories, lands next to 7-11 clerk
 

 

So cute they are, the writers of The Nation. Aren't they ?

acceleration is change of velocity in time.

when the woman reached the ground she was maximally accelerated (even if negative) because her speed dropped from considerable speed to zero in no time.

And by the way before the moment of impact she had considerable kinetic energy which was then transformed to destructive energy.

 

Hope this nourishes your boredom

You have a problem with that? Checking stock while there are few customers to serve. Better he does it when there are long queues at the check-out, instead of serving them?

All very interesting but there is nothing painful about acceleration or terminal velocity. 

It's the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts.

Don't know if it was ever used in an official report but the Para's used to call it 'whistling in'

Remove the other 24. Replace that with a 7. Delete the word "everyday". There's a good boy.

Are we here for the 10 minute discussion/arguement or the 30 minute discussion/arguement?
