    My best friends brother is a reporter for the Local 7 news in Evansville, IN. He had a clip of him reporting tornado damage and the guy in the background almost had an unfortunate date with his chainsaw. Well now the clip has made news across the pond.

    Was the chain spinning? Doesn't sound like it? Either way, who wants to look like a doofus on the news?

    Weird, Conan O'Brien Presents: Team Coco just posted this on facebook. This clip came from my hometown, yet I see it here first, then Conan O'Brien tells me about it. Weird.

    "An Illinois man had a close brush with death when chainsaw blades nearly sliced his face off"

    I think I've Heard this one before.

    Sounded like the blade stopped spinning, I cant tell from the video quality.
