Thread Truncated. Click to see all 128 replies.
We were probably 12 maybe 13 at the oldest and we a group of kids were standing around one of the "manholes" in our suburb neighborhood (note: there is no actual sewer, so the manhole was simply into the water drainage system from the raods).
Basically we were just tossing fireworks down into the open manhole because they make some really funky sounds reverberating throughout the whole "sewer" system. At some point we literally toss in an entire fold of blackcats (I think there is like 128 in the fold) and there is smoke EVERYWHERE. We can't see shit ... and someone comes driving by.
Being stupid kids we all kind of stand up and try to look like we're not doing anything wrong (despite the giant plum of smoke surrounding us). Once the car moves on we all go back to business but Robby is missing.
Apparently he was standing just in front of the manhole when the car came by and he went to take a step back. The ball of his foot actually touched down so when he moved his other foot back and went to put weight on his heel ... he fell in. He actually managed to grab a hold of the ladder on the way down (the fall would have been more like 15 feet had he not caught something) and came away with a small fracture to one of his ribs.
I still give him shit for this over a decade later.
