| Montel: Jamie Barker ReadingA woman asks Sylvia Browne about her husband, missing after falling from a bridge.  Ambassador Bridge (inset - workers dangling from the bridge on Nov 14 2000). BackgroundOn November 14 2000, ten workers were painting the Ambassador Bridge (connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario (Canada)) when the scaffolding they were on collapsed. Seven of the workers were left dangling by their safety harnesses, but three plunged 150 feet into the icy water of the Detroit River. Two of them were rescued by the Coast Guard, but the third, 27-year-old Jamie Barker, was not found. Three months later, her husband still missing, Jamie Barker's wife went on the Montel Williams show to ask Sylvia Browne for answers. The ReadingI do not have a video or transcript of the reading. Only the description of it in the article quoted below (all emphasis mine):
OutcomeJamie Barker's body was found five months after the accident - two months after the Montel Show was taped - as mentioned in this 2004 article:
AnalysisSo, how did Browne do? Let's compare the statements she made with the actual outcome, based on Ms. Robbins' account.
So, Browne got zero statements right out of three. That's a zero percent accuracy rate. ConclusionYet again, Browne weighs in on a tragedy and proves to be totally useless. Note: The "unknown" ratings above are, I feel, generous. It is fairly obvious that Browne was saying that Barker was crushed beneath the scaffolding, with a force which killed him instantly and left him embedded deep in the riverbed - deep enough that the removal of the scaffolding would not let the body rise to the surface. The lack of broken bones shows that was not the case. However, the wishy-washy nature of some of the statements (such as "...and I don't think they will") combined with the fact that we do not have a transcript, led me to conclude that "unknown" ratings were more appropriate and fair. My thanks to QG for finding and researching this case. Related LinksClicking on any of these links will load a separate browser window for viewing the linked page.
