Re: Man Jumps From 42-Storey Building and Falls on a Car
Reminds me of Vesna the Cessna
Vesna Vulović was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft).
She was the sole survivor after a briefcase bomb tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. The Yugoslav authorities suspected that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.
Following the bombing, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalized for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, broken legs, broken ribs, and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp.
Vulović had no memory of the incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity. Vulović became a celebrity in Yugoslavia and was deemed a national hero.

If he jumped from 42 floor. Terminal velocity for an avergae guy would be over 100mph. he should be dead.programmer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 4:10 pm The van had more give than the concrete street and probably saved his life.
Personally I'd still prefer jumping into beds or hot tubs

Says that he jumped from a 42-storey building, but not from which floor.pczz wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 6:43 pmIf he jumped from 42 floor.

And did he really jump ? Does anyone recognize the building ?

Maybe some people gave him a good kicking and shoved him in a truck and then claimed he jumped. Could happen...
A boy fell out of a tree and killed his mother the other day and nobody questioned that.

I'm questioning it.
Is there any evidence to say he was not pushed out of the tree, or the tree used up all the oxygen which made the boy faint ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

In Cambodia they do. What is heart attack now was trees sucking up oxygen a few years ago: applied to every unexplainable death.
Tree's don't use up oxygen, the create it by photosynthesis. Can't debunk your 'pushing' theory yet...
