WTF?
Full article here.A Google genius [engineer] was in a coma Wednesday night after a rotting branch snapped off a tree in Central Park and smashed him in the head. Sasha Blair-Goldensohn was walking to work through the park when a 100-pound limb came crashing from a massive pin oak tree near W. 63rd St. The 33-year-old computer engineer and father of two was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center after the 8 a.m. accident and was in intensive care.
...After the accident, the Parks Department inspected trees in the area and found them to be in good shape - except for the corroded branch that fell. "The limb was removed and found to be dead and rotted," the agency said in a statement.
