I didn't think German cyclists could get ecstatic about anything. I'm guessing that was the dead giveaway.
Just got a breaking news alert from ESPN: Fernandez was operating the boat, had a BAL of 147% of the legal limit, and traces of cocaine in his system. WTF was he thinking?
His BAL was .147 which is nearly twice the limit... not 147% over the limit... that means his blood would have been 100% alcohol and caused instant death. Working in the public safety field, the highest I've ever seen someone blow on a intoxicalizer and live was a .48 and even then they were a functioning alcoholic.
It's 0.147%, versus 100.0%. Another way to say it is 1/608.27 of being 100% alchohol.
He was messed up.
Cocaine's a helliva drug
The families of the other two people in the boat are gonna get a PAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIID
Yes, as well they should!
Someone lived with a .48?? That's insane. I had always heard .4 was typically where folks figure 'Yeah, you're going to die from alcohol poisoning.'
A guy I knew in college lived through a .4 because our dorm was across the street from the hospital. He was the first guy in my class to die (age 22), so I guess he did not get the message.
I just had my 35th reunion and we had a memorial service for those who passed. The pattern is that you get a lot of deaths in the 20s and early 30s from reckless behavior (drinking, drugs, stupid risks) and depression (suicides, self destructive stuff), then there's a slow down in folks passing away, followed by a pick up in the late 50s and onward. Certainly seemed that way.
