a quick response

i had not read durrell's post before i posted mine, but i would like to discuss the point at which i was almost killed. we were riding the escalator up in the train station, and somebody's chinese roommate was there helping us out. she had one of the enormous bags, was standing right in front of me, and for some reason immediately toppled over. in doing so she basically landed right on top of me. the way we were situated, she still had her feet on the ground but was laying horizontal. i was holding her up with one hand (she is pretty small), but couldn't do anything about it because my other hand was trying to handle all the other crap i had to keep from falling down the escalator onto innocent bystanders. but she eventually got back up, and that is all.
