Regarding the 82 story falling miracle man. What is the man's name, and where has this been reported? Is there a single newspaper who has carried it? Any online reports we can verify? News film clips we can download?

If you send that story to 10 of your friends, you get a Gap certificate.

. What is the man's name,

Don't recall. Why would I and others lie about seeing it on TV ?

and where has this been reported?

I get three major networks and was channel surfing. It was probably Fox news because someone on another thread mentioned carrying it on CNN and Fox.

Is there a single newspaper who has carried it?

If the guy created the story then I doubt anyone carried it after it was broadcast.

Any online reports we can verify?

A number of people on this thread annd others have reported the same news clip. Why would we all create the same story ?

News film clips we can download?

I don't know.


My guess is that the man's claims were aired live without anyone verifying the facts and that later it was found and understood to be impossible, so it was never aired again. A lot of wrong stuff got reported like the rescue of the firefighters in the SUV.

So, in summary the report was not created out of thin air. It was based on the claims of a survivor which was broadcast on television. The guy was obviously lying or mistaken because no one could survive a fall from so far. If he was in the building and not a nut who created the report for a sick reason he probably blacked out and doesn't remember going down the stairs.

Apparently its still being reported without question

Link to NEW York Post

.

They try to hold on to some hope. They remember always the two Port Authority cops - rescued early Wednesday - who were spared after riding the building down 82 floors.

"By the grace of God, they were both alive," Barnes said. "That was a good feeling. You think of those two guys and you say there's hope."
