Man plunges 9 stories from NJ high-rise, lands on BMW — and survives

A man plunged nine stories from a high-rise in Jersey City, NJ, landed on a BMW — and miraculously survived, according to stunning photos and a witness.

The man crashed through the roof of the Beemer parked below 26 Journal Square at 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, then stood up with a broken arm and asked, “What happened?,” onlooker Christina Smith, 21, told The Post.


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

“I heard a big boom and I didn’t think it was a person at first,” said Smith. “The back window of the car just busted out — exploded. Then the guy jumped up and started screaming. His arm was all twisted.”

She quickly called 911, then took jaw-dropping photos and videos of the aftermath, including graphic footage of the man screaming in pain with upper-body injuries.

He was rushed to a hospital by ambulance and his condition was not immediately known Thursday.

Police are investigating the incident, including whether he jumped, fell or was pushed, according to nj.com.

Wouldn’t that be something? Survive a 9 story fall then die from the jab..

Which would be higher:

1. Probability of surviving the 9 story fall?

2. Probability of surviving 5 years after getting the jab?

We heard about the broken arm, but I wonder what kind of internal injuries he had?

Charles Bronson threw a big thug off a high-rise balcony in Death Wish 4 (not sure about the number; who’s counting?). He crashed onto the sunroof of a limo (with his impatient, bicker-partner trophy girlfriend inside) — just as she was saying, “I wish he would just drop dead! (scream!)”.
