[QUOTE]TWO teenage siblings with the world at their feet bore the brunt of yesterday's wall collapse tragedy.
Melbourne University student Alex Jones, 19, died and his teenage sister Bridget 18, is fighting for her life after being crushed by bricks and debris.
A third victim, a woman in her thirties, is yet to be formally identified according to police.
The Melbourne University student siblings were in the wrong place at the wrong time when a 15m section of brick wall tumbled from the former CUB brewery site in Swanston St on Thursday afternoon.
Both were, making their way in life after recently graduating from Montmorency Secondary College.
Alex was a school captain and had dreams of one day being Prime Minister.[/QUOTE]

I'm sorta getting the "what if someone traveled back in time and killed Hitler as a teenager?" kind of vibe from this

Well with a name like Alex Jones...

Are you implying this was a "are you sarah connor" situation?
But seriously, just imagine right now if you were doing so well in life and you were going to go so far and do good things and it just ends like that...
it just ends by being crushed by a falling wall.

No, the actual target was his sister.

For the sake of humanity, his sister must survive.

Bioshock infinite vide where [sp]In one universe he dies, another he doesn't shield her and becomes a tyrant PM, and another he does but lives and becomes a good PM[/sp]
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;40082331]For the sake of humanity, his sister must survive.[/QUOTE]
No! You misunderstand!
If she is allowed to survive, she will usher in an age of darkness and terror, the likes of which has never been seen, by man or god! The Earth will weep blood, the sky will turn to ash, and the children of man will gnaw at their own flesh for sustenance!
She CANNOT be allowed to live!

Well, just spoiled myself Bioshock Infinite.
Spoiler tags are so misused on facepunch I clicked and didn't understand what I was reading until I read it all.
he did what all big brothers say they do, protect their little sisters from any harm.
salute you hero!

Fucking time travelers, why couldn't they kill the right one?
The wall isn't even that tall and it looks like it's only a couple bricks thick, doesn't look like it should be able to kill someone so easily.

That's your fault. He used them right.
[QUOTE=Orkel;40083008]That's your fault. He used them right.[/QUOTE]
He means most people use them incorrectly so he clicks them without a second thought
Poor guy.
I hope when [i]I[/i] die in an act of last second heroism people assume it happened because I was going to become double-hitler in a now alternate universe

if you haven't finished Bioshock and a comment starts with "Bioshock" and turns to spoiler tags, it probably means there's a spoiler related to Bioshock.

if you haven't finished bioshock and a comment starts with "Bioshock" and turns to spoiler tags, it USUALLY means there's a spoiler related to Bioshock.[/QUOTE]
Why did mods stop banning for abusing spoiler tags? It makes browsing FP harder on a mobile device since you have to tap like three times to reveal a spoiler tag, and most of the time it's just someone's stupid joke.
And of course stuff like that happens with legit spoilers.

She will get back on her feet and start a campaign against all the walls in the world.
No wall will be left standing with her alive.

dinks in LMAO pics posting dumb punchlines with spoiler tags does not in any circumstance mean [i]every[/i] spoiler is just a joke- especially one so blatant. Spoiler abuse is crappy, yeah, we get it. Use the report button in the corner of a post to let the mods know someone is [i]actually[/i] abusing spoilers with dry jokes or misrepresented info or whatever.
