Jackass star Ryan Dunn dies in Jackacc-ident

 

Ryan Dunn, who will beremembered for sticking a Hot Wheels car up his own ass in the movie "Jackass,"  died in a crash outside of Philadelphia early this morning. The car is too mangled to tell, but it may in fact be the remains of Dunn's Porsche 911 GT3. Police also don't know whether alcohol was to blame.

 

Dunn and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. It's unclear who was driving the car. We're told the car caught fire in the crash -- and hours later, a tow truck was called to the scene to remove the charred wreckage.

This is a photo of what Ryan Dunn's Porsche 997 GT3 looked like before the deadly accident — we're obviously still assuming that this was the vehicle being driven.

Just hours before his death, Dunn posted a photo on Twitter showing himself drinking with friends.

After its premiere 10 years ago, the MTV trailer trash hit “Jackass” is still around to the surprise of everyone. The reason behind its success is its core cast which includes a group of skaters, snow boarders, and stunt men who love to make people laugh — by any means necessary. Last weekend we got the opportunity to sit down and talk with the guys from the crew while they were promoting their latest venture "Jackass the Movie". The group consisted of Steve-O, Ryan Dunn, Chris Ponitus, Jason “Wee Man” Acuna, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, and director Jeff Tremaine.

MTV just tweeted: "We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."

A QUESTION TURNED THREAT??? PROBABLY NOT AYE

After reading a very unfavorable comment on an article written on my Cousin Sylvestri Brown who was just slain in S.F., I found a gentleman with the same name on Facebook and asked him had he made these salty comments. True I probably was doing too much, but I was upset and still am over the tragic and senseless murder of another Black Man. I don't believe myself to have overstepped any boundaries, it was a simple inquiry turned into yet another "internet fight" or "beef" of some sort. Ridiculous to think I would even threaten anyone directly through the worldwide web! I have more sense than that aye! Lol! I can be an asshole but don't start what you can't finish. Sometimes all you need to do is take a step back and look at it from a different angle... I'm sure you'll see something different. Especially once you get you're head out your bum. Basically the man is from Canada, he's dry and I keep ripping him on the "Sly"! Have a good night, that's all folks...

UNIONTOWN, Pa. — Police say a Pennsylvania father went to his son's elementary school to retrieve nearly four ounces of marijuana from the kindergartner's Elmo backpack.

State police say Ronald Washington, 33, called Menallen Elementary School in Uniontown on Thursday morning to ask if his son had arrived at school. Police say Washington told school officials he needed to fetch something from the boy's backpack, prompting school officials to search it.

Police say school officials called to say they had found pot in the bag. Troopers were waiting to arrest Washington when he arrived shortly before 9 a.m.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Washington. He was unable to post $100,000 and jailed.

Norfolk Trains beat the N.Y Jets 1-0

  Keith Fitzhugh chose operating trains over a shot at a Super Bowl.

The free-agent safety turned down an offer to join the New York Jets to remain a conductor with Norfolk Southern Railroad and stay on track financially while helping support his parents in Atlanta.
''I've got something now where I know every two weeks I'm getting a paycheck,'' Fitzhugh told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday night. ''That's what helps out the most right now. I don't knock the Jets at all. I highly appreciate them.''
Jets coach Rex Ryan said the team was looking to sign a safety after Jim Leonhard was lost for the season last week with a broken shin and James Ihedigbo suffered a leg injury in New York's 45-3 loss to New England on Monday night. New York has only two safeties - Eric Smith and Brodney Pool - listed on its roster.
The 24-year-old Fitzhugh, who had stints in camp with the Jets the past two years, was contacted by the team but declined New York's offer to return.
''You don't hear this too often and some people might think it's not a good idea,'' Fitzhugh said. ''Some people might think it is. I don't know. I just have to look out for what's best for me and my family.''
Fitzhugh's decision was first reported by The Star-Ledger of Newark.
''To sacrifice what he did for his family is the most unselfish thing I've heard by a player in sports,'' said Daniel Rose, Fitzhugh's agent. ''It's really impressive.''
Fitzhugh's father, Keith Sr., is disabled and unable to work, while his mother, Meltonia, has been struggling to make ends meet.
''I know the Jets have a great opportunity of making the Super Bowl, and that's one dream that every child has is to play sports and make it to the Super Bowl or get to the World Series,'' Fitzhugh said. ''But, there's a time when you have to think, 'Hey, you've only got one Mom and Dad.' They won't be here forever, and while they're here, you've got to cherish that time.'

Fitzhugh went undrafted after an outstanding career at Mississippi State and signed last year with the Jets as a free agent. He was later cut and signed to the practice squad before Baltimore signed him last December. He re-signed with the Jets in the offseason.
''I was released three times. That's a lot,'' he said. ''I just don't want to give up what I have now and say that I'm there for a couple of weeks and then I'm released again. Then, what am I going to do? It's really tough. It's the nature of the business.''
Fitzhugh, who keeps in touch with a few former Jets teammates, has been working for Norfolk Southern Railroad for three months.
''I don't want to let them down or run from them because I got a shot for a couple of weeks,'' he said. ''I just feel that that's not right at the moment. I'm looking more long-term in life right now than the short-term.''
Fitzhugh said he has been blessed to work with his two childhood passions: football and trains. He also keeps close watch on his former team, to see if he still recognizes the defensive schemes Ryan is running.
''It's tough because I would love to say, 'Hey, I'm going to go out there and get it again,' but it's about a risk,'' he said. ''Is it the end of my NFL career forever? I don't know. This is what I need to do right now.''

Doctor Elvis Has Left the Building

LAS VEGAS — It wasn't blue suede shoes but a pair of sneakers that led a San Francisco doctor dressed as Elvis Presley to a woman who passed out at a Las Vegas restaurant after a marathon.

Claudio Palma tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal he was dressed as the King after Sunday's Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon when he performed CPR and resuscitated another runner at the Burger Bar at Mandalay Place.
The 36-year-old was clad in a jumpsuit, sideburns and scarf for the race and may have looked like Presley, but in real life, he's an anesthesiologist.
Palma says paramedics then arrived, and the woman gave him a weird look. He said the patient kind of "freaked out" when she came to and he thinks that is because she didn't know why Elvis was kissing her. "She was giving me a weird look and telling me she was okay," Palma told the paper.
He says the incident wasn't the only heart-stopping one that day: Dr. Palma and his new wife Rhanee wed at a run-through chapel set up at Mile 2 of the race.

Chinese Train Hits 302 MPH, Breaks Commercial Speed Record

While California's high-speed rail network is just barely getting started (and won't even have trains for the foreseeable future) the aerodynamic beauty above just hit a new speed record for a commercial train—302 mph—on China's Beijing to Shanghai line.
If we had trains that fast in America, one could get from L.A. to Portland, Oregon, in five or six hours.
