  1. Poor lady. 😔 R.I.P ma'am.
    Deepest condolences to her family and friends. What a terrible thing to happen. 😢

  2. They must have got the grand slam.

  3. The Creator controls the wind

  4. I hope Denny’s is insured.

  5. Talk about bad f*cking luck.. geez..

  6. NEWS AT 6PM TOMORROW: DENNY'S WILL SETTLE OUT OF COURT WITH THE FAMILY OF THE FALLEN SIGN, $20.- ALL YOU CAN EAT
    GIFT CERTIFCATES FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED, EXCEPT FOR 72-YEAR-OLD MILDRED WHO WON'T GET HERS. YOU HAVE TO BE PRESENT TO WIN…

  7. Denny's couldn't afford the deluxe sign with heavy duty over sized bolts and gusset plates… nice job sign company! This should not have happened. They also could have had several steel cables connected to tether it … the damaged sign would have just hung there on the steel cables until the boom truck arrived.

  8. They might try to sue Dennys but honestly its a good chance it will be called "act of god" which means natural forces caused the accident. Not Dennys cheap sign and maintenance. Its just wrong place wrong time.

  9. Many store Logos are a bit too big in some places or too weakly made for todays weather

  10. The sign should of been replaced long ago. Greed is killing everyone

  11. That’s a grand slam. RIP. I’m so sorry for everyones inside that Dodge Dart.

  12. When is your turn is your turn

  13. This is the absolute worst case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time ever! Rest in peace ma'am.

  14. What a way to go by a Denny's sign.

  15. Don’t ever take life for granted , you never know when it’s your time to go

  16. The grand slam will never be the same

  17. Sorry but who parks under sucha big sign.

  18. OMG the wind needs to go to jail!

  19. It's bad enough that Denny's food is terrible and now this.

  20. Final destination SMH

  21. It’s like wizard of oz, I imagine it with this old woman’s feet sticking out from under the sign. Hilarious.

  22. Not gonna lie Kinda Funny But it's Not.

  23. Seems like someone didn't like them

  24. And to think her last meal was Denny's. I'd rather die from a falling Ruth's Chris Steakhouse sign though.

  25. Unreal death by Denny's

  26. Boy Dennys know they about to get sued they already have that video from years ago when the news cast tried to do a report on the restaurant for a failed grade and they were attacking the news reporters

  27. Pathetic, these comments…but when it's your grandmother, 🐊 tears
