Wisconsin Teen Survives Garbage Truck Crushing In Lame-Brained Boot Camp Escape Plan

A 14-year-old idiot ran away from a boot camp-style school for teens outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and hid in a trash bin to avoid detection. The only flaw in the plan was exposed when a garbage truck picked up the bin and dumped its contents into the back — including the teen. Of course, the garbage truck did what garbage trucks do and compacted the load, repeatedly, while going about its route until offloading at the recycling center, where the teen was found unconscious but alive. Police indicate the idiot's injuries are not life-threatening and he will make a full recovery, but not from his nearly fatal stupidity. [CBSNews]
