8-Year-Old Gets Stuck In Washing Machine

POSTED: 12:31 pm EDT September 2, 2004

CUMRU TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- An 8-year-old Pennsylvania girl has an incredible survival story.

Anna Moyer got stuck in a washing machine Tuesday night at an apartment in Shillington, Pa., and it started running.

"It stopped the other way, then both ways," Anna said.

Anna is probably too young to do laundry, but she knows what it's like to be laundry. The 8-year-old got trapped in a front-loading washing machine after climbing in on a dare at an apartment complex she was visiting.

The drum filled with water and spun the 48-pound girl around for about five minutes.

1. I wonder if she has brain damage...

or if it's simply a question of practicing proper grammar:

The drum filled with water and spun the 48-pound girl around for about five minutes.

"Keep bumping my head," Anna said.

Her 12-year-old sister and a friend watched in horror, unable to stop the machine.

"I keep throwing up in there," Anna said.

2. C'mon, people, you have to balance those things.

Stick two 4-year-olds on the other side.

3. Somehow that made me laugh until tears rolled...

4. Thanks.

It was one of my better ones, if I do say so myself. I can't take credit though, a set-up like that doesn't come along everyday.
