Yesterday's NY Tabloids were plastered with the miraculous survival of the 22 year old kid who plummeted 39 stories but had his life spared when he crashed into the back window of a sports-car.
My first thought was obviously that although I'd seen this happened thousands of times in action-movies, I was glad to see it recreated in real life..
My second thought was: What the hell are the odds that this Tom Petty wanna-be hits the window and not the trunk of the car which would have definitely not have the amount of give to survive. This dude free-falls 500 feet and lands square into the back window of a car while most dudes can't hit the inside of a 20 inch porcelain bowl after two beers.
My third thought was: how pissed would you be if that was your car. We're all humanitarians and don't want to see anybody die but if I were the owner I'd be wondering if it HAD to be the back of my Dodge Charger that broke the fall. I'm not sure if this thing was officially labeled a suicide attempt but the way I see it, this dude better get back from his two broken legs and offer to mow the Charger owner's lawn for a lifetime.
If this dude does decide to jump again, let's hope he does it off a bridge....chances are he'll land face first in a garbage barge
