Hannah Upp Makes Surprise Public Appearance

hannahup101508.jpgLast night the Community Board 1 held a meeting which doubled as an awards ceremony for the SI Ferry workers who saved Hannah Upp. The teacher who went missing from August 29th to September 16th was eventually found floating in the New York Harbor by the ferry workers, and last night she went to honor them herself. During her surprise appearance, she told the SI Advance, "The evening is really about them. I am recovering and grateful for all the support." She was last heard from earlier this month when she updated her Facebook status. Upp also privately visited the men last week, and one of them, Captain Covella, said last night that he "was honored that God chose me and my crew to fulfill their prayers."

enough with her. she's sick, we get it.

Cant wait till the TV Movie comes out. Shes like the David Blaine of Suicides!

Grossest woman ever? That's just begging for someone to link to tubgirl.

please link to tubgirl, Politburo

I've never seen Hannah Upp and tubgirl at the same place at the same time. Just sayin'...

"Upp also privately visited the men last week..."

For a different kind of reward ceremony? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

the non-suicide story that never ends...

Now that we've praised her rescuers, can this chick venture off into oblivion?

A white girl making a public appearance is news? Oh, I forgot ... MWWS.

If Upp had not been found and rescued she would have been another missing college student.

There is a long list of them and one other high school teacher/grad student.

Tara Grinstead, Ocilla Ga, walked away during the night and has not been seen since.

Others are Brian Shaffer, Maura Murray, and Michael Negrete. Ahmad Arain, Matthew Wilson and of course Hannah Upp recovered and returned.

Subliminal Distraction is the most likely cause of these events. Schools are unaware the problem exists and do not provide Cubicle Level Protection or warn students.
