How did the "9/11 Surfer" survive his fall of 15 floors?

The surfer name is a joke thing for a nightmare. He is one of the luckiest men in history.

There was no falling nicely in air - If he had, gravity would have smashed him flat.

He stayed on a small patch of concrete floor.

The building gave way, it did not just snap, it pancake - He rode the debris down.

The crushing-walls and steel created a thick, slow-moving river of trash.

He was in the center, very lucky - The rubble beneath him absorbed the heavy shock.

It acted like a rough cushion - He landed on a jagged pile seven stories up.

Suffered only a broken foot and had some cuts.


But this was not skill.

It was pure, dumb luck. He rode a mountain of death and woke up alive. Sh…

Physics spared him, took the rest.
