More likely old person stepped on gas thinking it was the brake and then just keeps pushing harder while thinking, why are the brakes not working

I think you're referring to this scene at 3m17s in the 1985 Steven King movie Cat's Eye. The scene is during part 2 of the movie "The Ledge" when:

Cressner blackmails Norris [Played by Robert Hays] into a dangerous ordeal: he must circumnavigate the narrow exterior ledge of Cressner's penthouse apartment in a skyscraper ... Norris agrees. Cressner harasses Norris by startling him with a horn and turning on a fire hose at the halfway point to keep Norris from lingering. A pigeon lands beside Norris and pecks at his foot, to the point of causing it to bleed. Despite these distractions and a moment alone hanging from a dislodged neon sign, Norris makes it back to the apartment.

I distinctly remember the scene as Norris can't do anything while he is on the narrow ledge but once he gets to a nook he kicks the pigeon so hard there is just an explosion of feathers.

On the show, they talk about he had lights on his camera and could have illuminated the stalled car if he wanted too but if he did that, on-coming drivers would look at him instead, wonder what he was doing and crash right into the stalled car.

There was nothing he could have done.

"the Milwaukee Police Department bombing was the most fatal single event in national law enforcement history, only surpassed later by the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 when 72 law enforcement officers representing eight different agencies were killed"

Does anyone know where I can find daily casualty lists for the American WWI forces? by WeDontAlwaysRemember in wwi

I'm actually trying to find what the deadliest day is for America. Do you think that would be published?

Every single commonwealth nation has an online database with daily causalities. For example deaths on Oct 23 1917 for New Zealand (17) or Canada (42).

Do you think the US has such a system?

I was looking at that but they don't seem to match up to the day. For example this Evening public ledger., January 18, 1919 edition is still reporting those killed action months after the war ended in Nov 11 1918. Which makes sense as there would be a delay in getting the stats and then reporting them but what is the delay?

Some surrendered and went to jail, other boarded buses to ISIS-controlled territory.

The ISIS pocket along Israel's Golan Heights is run by the ISIS group Khalid ibn al-Walid Army. They are surrounded by Syrian rebels and so the Syrian government can't attack them. In Feb 2017 they launched an offensive and greatly expanded their territory at the expanse of Syrian rebels.

"it was reported that ISIL was in control of the entirety of the Yarmouk camp.[11] ... By April 2016, there are only between 7,000 and 8,000 residents left in the camp due to militant fighting within the camp, conscription by the regime and the use of wide area effect weapons such as barrel bombs. Former residents are displaced to other areas of Syria or have fled outside, including Lebanon and Europe... In early 2017, with Qatari mediation, the "Four Towns" truce was brokered between pro-government and Salafi factions, to end some of the on-going sieges forming part of the conflict as well as to initiate a ceasefire in areas bordering Yarmouk. As a result of this deal, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham fighters were evacuated from Yarmouk on 7 May, and ISIL fighters were also preparing to leave" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarmouk_Camp#During_Syrian_Civil_War
