Man says he was blinded 4 times in one eye

In 1985, Brian Calen claimed he was blinded in the right eye in a cruise ship accident. Seven years later, he said a ship's telescope blinded him again. Then, he said, he was blinded on two more trips by a champagne bottle and a flying disc.

All in the same eye.

Calen's unlucky streak which allowed him to collect more than $1 million in travelers' insurance money finally caught up with him Wednesday, when he was charged with insurance fraud and grand larceny.

"How does a guy get blinded again and again?" District Attorney Jeanine Pirro asked.

Calen pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Westchester County Court and was freed on $10,000 bail. His lawyer, Peter Goodrich, said the charges pertain only to the 2002 claim and "it's our opinion that they are absolutely wrong on that."

Wow... you think some people would realize that SOMEONE would notice.

Woman struck by train sues railroad

A Jeannette woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks.

Patricia M. Frankhouser, of 910 Scott Ave., is seeking an unspecified amount in excess of $30,000 from the Norfolk, Va., rail transport company for the Jan. 6 incident that left her with a broken finger, cuts on her hand and pain, according to the suit.

Greensburg attorney Harry F. Smail Jr., who represents Frankhouser, didn't return a call seeking comment.

Within the filing, he argues that the railroad was negligent for failing to post signs warning "of the dangers of walking near train tracks and that the tracks were actively in use."

This lady shouldn't have even left her house that morning. Stupid people should be placed under house arrest.

That is great. I suggest you visist Msn.co.uk, i notice it's nearly all full of junk news.

I wouldn't be surprised if that woman does get that settlement... with the way the laws are today you can sue for just about anything (well, in the U.S. at least...)
