"Momentum carried him beyond."

[Chris Talk]

Where was his flying carpet?

Besides, Muslims like him aren't supposed to drink alcohol.

Will this reduce the number of virgins he gets in the next life?

Momentum, indeed. Sounds like someone could use a physics refresher.

Let's assume he fell 30 meters, or just shy of 100 feet. Given that d = 0.5 * g * t², neglecting air resistance, we see that 30 = 0.5 * 9.8 m/s² * t². Solving for t, we see that the time t before impact was about 2.5 seconds, give or take. The final, "impact" velocity, then, given by the equation v_f = g * t, must have been 9.8 m/s² * 2.5, or 24.5 m/s, more or less, or about 55 miles per hour.

"Momentum carried him beyond."

and he was an engineering student? kinda makes you wonder what his grades were in those darn classes, doesn't it....perhaps he wasn't doing too well in physics.

He had a maturity beyond his age.

sure he does....
