More on punctuation

Reading Kerry's post reminded me of a story that came in from The Associated Press last week; the first write-through read thusly:

MIAMI — Part of a construction crane plummeted 30 floors at the site of a high-rise condominium Tuesday, smashing into a home the contractor used for storage and killing two workers, police said.

Now, that's a tough boss -- to actually set aside a space for killing workers! At least he limited himself to two!

Not to make light of a tragedy, but this helps illustrate the importance of punctuation.
