Kevin Mackle was a 19-year-old student at Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada. In 1998, a drunken Mackle attempted to get a free Coke from a vending machine on campus. With one arm buried deep in its workings, Mackle began to violently rock the dispenser back and forth. The 420-kilo machine tipped over, fatally crushing the already smashed student.
Unsurprisingly, the minor facts that Mackle was drunk and was engaged in attempted theft did not deter his family from launching a law suit against the university, Coca-Coila Bottling Ltd., and the companies that made and operated the vending machine.

Cachi managed to get out onto the balcony and fell, landing on 75-year-old Martha Espina - both died instantly. As a crowd gathered to study the carnage, pedestrian Edith Sola was forced to step out into the road and was fatally hit by a bus.
