My sons insist that on Saturday night a reporter was asking a Dr. about injured people and he said they had admitted a man who was a miracle. He rode the debris from the 82nd floor and only suffered broken legs and ankles.
I didn't see it so can't confirm.
True story. He is a fireman whose wife is nine months pregnant. Miracles do happen.
Your son is correct but the man who claimed it is probably lying or delerious.
