A young woman was simply walking home with a friend when a man suddenly fell from a building above and landed directly on her. The incident happened shortly before 1 a.m. on July 19, 2026, in Sakae, a busy district of Nagoya, Japan. Police said a 29-year-old man fell from a 12-story apartment building and struck 23-year-old restaurant worker Houra Inaba, who was walking along the pavement below. A nearby woman immediately called emergency services, telling them that someone had fallen from above and collided with her friend. Both victims were transported to a hospital unconscious and in critical condition. But the outcome was even crazier than the incident itself. The man survived the fall, although he remained unconscious with serious injuries. Inaba, who had done nothing more than be in that exact place at that exact moment, died several hours later from hemorrhagic shock.
Police are still investigating where the man fell from and what caused it. Officials have not cbeenable to figure out whether it was an accident or the guy jumped.
This was not merely a bizarre accident involving a tall building and a guy with bad balance - or just plain unbalanced. It was the sudden loss of a young woman whose ordinary walk with a friend became the final moment of her life.
Just goes to show you - if it ain't something, it's something else...

Think about this. Bramhall is the chief political cartoonist for the New York Daily News. Never confuse the News with the Post - they are diametrically opposed politically, with the News being ultra liberal and very left-leaning, although they do ocassionaly shine through with some MOR reporting and editorials. This is decidely self-efacing for them to publish. Maybe the light at the end of their tunnel is a bit more clarity. Who knows...
