News Commentary Blog 2



           

            It seems to me like some people are just not meant to die. After reading the headline “Woman survives fall from 23rd floor,” my jaw dropped and I though “no way.” But “yes way” it is very true and thanks to Yahoo News I can blog about this story and you all can read it. I’m sure it will be just as shocking to you as it was to me.
            In Buenos Aires an Argentine woman of 33 years jumped from the 23rd floor of the Panamerico hotel in a suicide attempt and landed on a parked taxi causing the driver to flee. It took place on Monday and she landed on the taxi, afterward she was rushed to an ICU at a local Buenos Aires hospital. The cab driver said that he got out of his parked car after he noticed a policeman looking up at the woman. He rushed to safety just in the knick of time. Miguel Cajal’s taxi was mangled by the fall the windshield and roof was caved in by the collision. "If I hadn't got out, I'd be dead," Cajal said.
            There is no other explanation than it was not her time to go. It is so easy for people to die from an accidental blunt trauma to the head and this woman smashes herself on a taxi and survives. It would have killed the driver by her fall but it didn’t kill her? All I can say is that she is lucky and if the universe lets her live through that than she clearly has a purpose. Hopefully this will be a sign to her that suicide is the wrong way to go here, and hopefully she didn’t completely destroy her body. This whole situation is sad and is something that shouldn’t have happened.

  1. Hello Kathleen,
    I am really interested in this story! I like weird things like this, mainly because of how it shoes how awesome and unique our bodies really are. I would like to know more about this on the biology of the bodies and how much different we are from one another, its just like you said that we could survive a 23 story drop from a building but we get hit with a blunt object and it kills us. It is very interesting to me.
    Thanks!
    Brittany.
