NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York City man who plunged 40 stories from the rooftop of an apartment building has survived after crashing onto a parked car.
Witnesses and police say 22-year-old Thomas Magill jumped from the high-rise at West 63rd Street on Tuesday. He landed in the backseat area of a Dodge Charger after crashing through the windshield.
He suffered broken legs...

It might have well been a better choice than what was going on 40 floors up....
By crashing through the rear windshield.
There are some amazing stories there.
He redefined back seat banging...
Didn’t a guy fall on George’s car in a Seinfeld episode? It amazes me how EVERYTHING seems to remind me of something that happened in Seinfeld.
HIGHLANDER!!!!
I saw a story yesterday that said he jumped from the sixth floor of a 40-story building.
There are unconfirmed reports that the Dodge belonged to a shoe salesman from Chicago.
“It amazes me how EVERYTHING seems to remind me of something that happened in Seinfeld.”
Yup. The show that everyone thought was about nothing has turned out to be as accurate as Nostradamus in foreseeing future events. Of course, I don’t remember any episode in which a black president was elected who proceeded to trash the country in only 18 months.
It's 40 stories if you include the mezzanine.
/obscure movie reference
It would be like watching the opening scene of “Mad Men”, if he was wearing a suit.
I don't normally advocate suicide, but when you are so incompetent that you fail to kill yourself jumping from a 40 story building....
LOL!!
If he chose to land on a Volvo...he may not have broken his legs.
