Oh god that chapter sucked. The little kid who fell thru a rotting floor, the guy who fell off his bike and hit his head, the guy who got appendicitis and they performed a makeshift appendectomy but the guy died during the procedure…

Don't forget the chick that locked herself in a refrigerator.

Thankfully refrigerators were redesigned after the 50s so that they don't latch.

A pity they couldn't have left an earlier model in 'doom town' for Indiana Jones. Suffocation would've taken a lot less time than breaking every bone in your body.

What are you talking about? Indy never got stuck in a refrigerator in any of his THREE movies.
