This has to be one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard. According to the report here a 22 year old man named Thomas Magill jumped from the top of a New York City sky scraper and fell 39 stories landing in the back seat of a Dodge Charger. The report goes on to tell that the man only suffered two broken legs and is believed to be going to survive without any other major issues. The report also talks about the man whose car this guy landed on. The car owner wasn’t upset at all and even talked about how his rosary saved the jumpers life.
To me this is incredible. It brings up so many questions that the author didn’t include. For instance why did he jump? If he’s stable now and awake, what does he think of his life now? Does he have a feeling of having a second chance now? I couldn’t imagine ever being driven to the point that I want to kill myself. There are so many things to live for and even if you’re at the bottom then you know things will have to get better. It also makes me wonder if now he will be charged for something like attempted murder for trying to kill himself. I would bet that he will be charged with something if nothing else for trespassing on the top of the building. As far as the jumper being saved by the rosary, I can’t say that I believe that. I don’t believe just being around something religious saves you. I do however believe that god can save someone if he so chooses. It was nice to know he wasn’t upset about his car. I don’t think I could have been that easy going about it.
I hope that this man survives and if he does that he gets the psychological help that he needs. At least his family and friends are aware of his feelings now and maybe they will get him some help.
