How Did This Woman Survive A 23-Floor Jump?

Pure luck, that’s how. She decided to kill herself today, jumping from the 23rd floor of the Hotel Panamericano in Buenos Aires. Fortunately, the taxi in where she landed wasn’t too hard and she survived. Injured but survived.

Miguel was lucky too. He got out of his cab seconds before the woman ended her 100m drop crashing the car top just over the driver’s seat. Witnesses say that they saw the woman climbing over the balcony barrier and jumping down. The 30-year-old woman is now being operated for internal injuries and multiple broken bones, including her hips.

Had this happened in New York – where cabs are made out of pure condensed hate 17.6 stronger than adamantium – instead of Buenos Aires, she would have died instantly. [Twitter]
