- DeskFlyer, on 01/05/2008, -0/+85Wile E. Coyote seen nodding head in approval.
- wisam, on 01/05/2008, -2/+70And to think that I didn't believe that Locke (in LOST) fell 8 stories and survived with a broken back. I thought, "what the hell were the writers thinking!"
- FatLoser, on 01/05/2008, -2/+48Reminds me of the time I fell out of my chair and broke my arm...
- CloseTheCode, on 01/05/2008, -0/+34Lucky guy. I wonder what the medical explanation is for something like this? How some people can endure unimaginable bodily trauma and make a complete recovery, and some people can actually die from the most minor of things?
The human body is one hell of a machine, that's for sure. - vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -4/+33He did it for the lulz!
- crapmatic, on 01/05/2008, -0/+26Considering 99% of skyscrapers are surrounded by concrete, metal, and glass, there are clearly details here that this story is not telling us. Instead of mentioning where he landed, the newswriter is mostly tooting the "miracle" angle.
- KingGorilla, on 01/05/2008, -0/+25You brave brave man
- bkrishnan, on 01/05/2008, -1/+26Sylar's comin ta getchya!
- petershultz, on 01/05/2008, -0/+22***** man, you should write a book on that.
- mcpharmacy, on 01/05/2008, -3/+21Spiderman never gets credit when it's due.
- inactive, on 01/05/2008, -5/+19Hello, atheist here. Nope, still don't believe in miracles.
Thank you. - Fractl, on 01/05/2008, -4/+17But is it enough to make a religious man believe in modern medicine?
- Campog, on 01/05/2008, -1/+13Haha, tooting.
- inactive, on 01/05/2008, -0/+9ACME scaffolding...
- Sheff, on 01/05/2008, -0/+9Maybe he rolled when he hit the ground.
- AmusedToDeath, on 01/05/2008, -0/+9Now he'd better look out for his arch nemesis:
"Now that we know who you are... I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense. In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero, and most time's they're friends, like you and me. I should've known way back when. You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr. Glass." - s1mph0ny, on 01/05/2008, -2/+10That doesn't make it not spam, dumbass.
- FatLoser, on 01/05/2008, -2/+9How dare you... DeskFlyer is a legend. Good day to you, sir.
- Fanatism, on 01/05/2008, -1/+8Everybody gets one.
- ZenMojo, on 01/05/2008, -0/+7FatLoser said: "Reminds me of the time I fell out of my chair and broke my arm..."
He's in this thread. Stop him before he kills another trainload of innocents! - inactive, on 01/05/2008, -3/+10I do this all the time between the Lumber Mill and Blacksmith.
- inactive, on 01/05/2008, -3/+10What would have been freakier is if he would have just stood up after he fell haha. I could see the look on people's faces now: "what the *****?!"/
- ClaudiuUSA, on 01/05/2008, -1/+8Did he hit, like, fifty branches on his way down?
- thebrokedown, on 01/05/2008, -0/+7Yeah, he's illegal. Illegally breaking the laws of physics!
- joshuastarr, on 01/05/2008, -1/+7Episode 14.....The Window Washers .... Peter Petrelli I'm onto you!
- unearth, on 01/05/2008, -0/+6Sounds like a porno I do not want to see.
- Fanatism, on 01/05/2008, -1/+7what about his brother then? pretty darn selective angel.
please go figure out this another way. - thinman1189, on 01/05/2008, -1/+7Uhm, what the *****?
- Campog, on 01/05/2008, -2/+8Who says that religious people don't believe in modern medicine? The wack jobs who don't get medical treatment for religious reasons are a tiny minority.
- smurfsahoy, on 01/05/2008, -2/+8No, terminal velocity for humans is at something like 90 stories
- MadN, on 01/05/2008, -0/+6Is he asking for Sarah Conner?
- TheColonel, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5I guess he WAS thinking with portals ...
- Kypt, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5Also, there is nothing holding the scalfold to anything, jumping requires an equal but opposing force. If he jumped from the scaffold he'd pretty much just be sending it faster down instead of jumping that high up :P
- humanerror, on 04/03/2008, -2/+7haha you can't read
- bagboyrebel, on 01/05/2008, -2/+7so let's see, he and his brother fell 47 floors and his brother died...yep, sounds like a miracle to me.
- WhytLudacris, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5In the Kansas City Star this morning this article stated that when he woke up he touched one of the nurses first. His wife had been holding his hand and rubbing his hands through her hair for days trying to get him to wake up. Guess he got the message.
A truly lucky man in an inspiring story. - nyx210, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5Even if he did reach terminal velocity, he would've still been falling quite fast. The impact would still be powerful and crushing.
- ZenMojo, on 01/05/2008, -1/+5Because he's a menace, that's why.
- mal1964, on 01/05/2008, -1/+5Or the Michelle Man,
- Javlington, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4I find it horrible that he's lost his brother in the accident :(
- NetJoe, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4and his wife, not realizing he can even speak is already nagging him to keep his hands to himself.
- rkzda, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4There were 150sq feet of mattresses below... yeah. /sarc
I am sure he landed on cement, or the scaffolding. If you don't believe in miracles fine, but it isn't a conspiracy. - Yzzim, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4modern medicine is a miracle!
- nshady, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4Dude, I had the exact same thought before reading the comments - didn't expect it to be the first reply though.
- nyx210, on 01/05/2008, -1/+5From 500 feet up in the air, I don't think that there's much that you could do to truly save yourself...
- mal1964, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4Concrete or feather bed = dead
- localzuk, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4Pretty much any surface = dead when falling from that height, unless it is something like a giant marshmallow or a giant pile of pillows...
- rajid, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3I believe this previous article, which was on Digg a while back, explains why he survived a bit better:
www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-nyscaf095493620dec09,0,161064.story - ComradeGoby, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3That's nothing, in Crank 2 Jason Statham gets up and walks away from the fall in the first one.
