Florida woman stuck on drawbridge could face trespass charges

[jakeXT]

A Florida woman who dangled from an upright drawbridge for a half-hour — making her a sensation on the Web — could be charged with trespassing.

Robert LeDoux of Florida East Coast Railway said his company is waiting to find out more about the woman — identified by officials as Wanda McGowan, 55, of Dania Beach — before deciding whether to press charges.

McGowan had apparently just participated in a breast-cancer awareness event when she walked past warning signs and onto the railroad bridge, which was down so a train could cross the river.

The bridge, which is operated remotely, then moved into the upright position, leaving McGowan hanging on for dear life 22 feet in the air.

1. I know exactly where this bridge is...

And I just can't figure out what possessed her to do something like that. Another Florida wackjob.

Providing entertainment for the whole country is just one of the services we offer.

What would this country do without us?

2. No one thought to make a phone call to the proper authorities to lower the bridge?

6. Where's the fun in that?

5. Nope.

Video first. Then water balloons.

Why ruin a perfectly good teaching moment for the children. Improves their aim.
