Wow

Man plunges 39 stories from NYC skyscraper — and lives: 'That's a miracle if I've ever seen one. He should be a goner,' witness says
A New York City man who plunged 39 stories from the rooftop of an apartment building has survived after crashing onto a parked car.

Witnesses and police said 22-year-old Thomas Magill jumped from the high-rise at West 63rd Street on Tuesday and landed in the backseat area of a Dodge Charger.

He broke both his legs and police said he was in critical condition.

The car's owner, Guy McCormack, of Old Bridge, N.J., told the New York Daily News he was convinced that rosary beads he kept inside the Dodge saved Magill's life. "Here's what saved him!" McCormack said as he took them from the car.
