E-bikes have a typical range of 50km, can travel 25km/h, 2 hour commute if you can charge it there. The numbers work out.

But you then have to bike 4 hours every day, which is still some light exercise, in dangerous car traffic since I suspect there is no safe bicycle infrastructure.

Ah, so it was just a big PR stunt then. I will not look into this further until the news confirm my findings.

A magnitude 1 quake releases the same force as dropping a partially loaded cement truck from 10 meters onto the street in front of your house. A magnitude 0 earthquake is equivalent to the entire Dallas Cowboys American football team running at full tilt into the side of your neighbours garage.

Given those upper and lower bounds, considering that the scale is logarithmic with 2 points being x1000 difference, then keeping in mind I can never do math properly: roughly 1 and a half American football teams ran full tilt into the house next to the seismometer.

But the husband was called to get her off the table? Did she fall while the technician was away? Shouldn’t there have been a 2nd person to supervise her, or is that too expensive? And she did help in trying to get him unstuck, so she could get up on her own then? How are there so many important details to this?

That’s it, as fun as it is to speculate, I think I’ll reserve my judgement until after this has gone to court.

After reading another article: nope, necklace was just a huge locket on a chain. And the wife said “Keith, Keith, come help me up” which sound to me like:

• wife was making a big fuss for no good reason (might have had a reason according to a 3rd article)
• husband obeyed as any good husband would
• technician didn’t inform the husband that his wife would be carted out of the MRI room and failed to react fast enough

If I was married and a bit dumber, I could probably also be lured to my death with my name being called out twice in that fashion. Really depends how good the signage was and how well the husband was informed.

Carrying a 9kg necklace seems a bit silly. Though I suppose “for weight training” could just as well mean something medical, like needing to build up muscle mass after an operation.

What I need to know is: how is a man that was “not supposed to be in the room” specifically getting fetched by a technician to go into the room? I would have said “do not go past the antechamber” a dozen times on the way there. Did the wife calling out to him just turn off his brain, did the technician fail to inform him, or did they both not realise the metallic necklace was on him?
