Man Falls From 9th-Story Window–and Lives

According to witnesses, the man plunged through the rood of the BMW and then quickly got back up.

Miracles do happen, even in Jersey City. They had one this week–a man fell from a 9th story window, 100 feet high… and lived to tell the tale (https://nypost.com/2021/10/07/new-jersey-man-survives-9-story-plunge-by-landing-on-a-bmw/).

A parked BMW broke his fall. He broke the BMW.

Actually, he was a bit too rattled to be telling any tales. He did ask, “What happened?” You’d think he, of all people, would know. Police believe he was trying to commit suicide. He did wind up with some painful injuries, but will probably recover.

I can’t see this as anything but a miracle. Can you?

3 Russian Doctors… Suicides?

I missed this story last month, but have managed to retrieve it from The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/62bab5b82454138c7c92d00ae6c2cb29).

Three doctors at two Russian hospitals, allegedly stressed beyond their means by their efforts to fight the COVID-19 virus, jumped out of second-floor windows. Two of them died, and the third was massively injured.

This is very strange. Why would a doctor, in a hospital full of all kinds of drugs for the taking, decide to commit suicide by throwing himself out a window? It’s not even a sure bet: the one doctor survived, but he’ll be maimed for life.

It has also been suggested that one of the doctors fell because he climbed out the window to enjoy a smoke. I have never seen anyone doing that. Have you?

We are told there’s been a lot of controversy in Russia over the availability and reliability of protective gear for doctors and nurses treating coronavirus patients, lots of friction with the brass, etc. Bottom line: we don’t know what’s going on in Russian hospitals.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the AP to get to the bottom of it.
