Man Survives 39 Story Fall In NYC

This is an AMAZING article.......falling 39 Stories and still alive!!!! Thats a long way down...I wonder what he was thinking before he hit the bottom--he landed on a car.

It was a suicide attempt so perhaps he was thinking "Aw damn....I'm still here...." as they pulled his contorted body from the car...and yes...he was conscious and screaming!!!

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

It'll be interesting to see if this strengthens or erases this guy's resolve to die.

He is selfish...he could have killed a passerby....why didn't he go into the middle of nowhere and jump off of a cliff instead of a busy manhattan street

Well, I don't quite take that position. I think there are certain things we don't control, for better or worse.

He is selfish...he could have killed a passerby....why didn't he go into the middle of nowhere and jump off of a cliff instead of a busy manhattan street

I was struck by this. I'm not one who agrees suicide is in all cases an act of wanton selfishness. But the way this guy chose to attempt it speak volumes about his regard for anyone but himself. Stunning.

If by being "over it," he means he's out of the strength to live, I certainly hope he gains some, because I see a significant call to accountability coming his way... and I suspect many folk will be watching him like a hawk so that he doesn't have the luxury of permanently checking out without some real cunning in doing so.

What is ever weirder is that he is a recent college grad....wonder if all of those loans have him all freaked out.....i mean really......he should be over wanting to off himself.

People dont usually get a second chance. I wonder if its mandatory that he be institutionalized after something like this.

And are you suggesting that this 'someone' cushioned his fall with a car? What are you suggesting happened?

From article:

"On his Facebook page, Magill had written, "I'm over it," according to the Daily News. The paper said his listed "interests" included "being mean" and "making fun of people." His Facebook profile has since been blocked."

^ Or if he survives those injuries, and gets his second chance in life, he may want to rethink how he may have treated some people before the accident.shrug

Exactly. What if he landed on a baby in a stroller? I hate when mfers do shit like this. You want to off yourself, do it at home. Don't put the public at risk. And I hope the owner of the car does sue his dumb ass. If that was my car, I would have clocked him before the ambulance arrived.

I agree that this dude is an asshole for letting his issues endanger those around him.

But this lady said:

"I want to meet [Tom Magill] and say, 'Why? Why my car out of all the cars in the city?' "

Like her shit is so much more important than everyone else's.
It made me feel a little less sorry for her. I still feel bad...just not as much.
