BMW saves the life of man who fell nine stories.
There is simply nothing BMW cannot do. They don’t miss.
“A man plunged nine stories from a high-rise in Jersey City, New Jersey, landed on a BMW — and miraculously survived, according to officials and a witness. The 31-year-old crashed through the roof of the black Beemer 330i parked below 26 Journal Square at 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, then stood up with his right arm dangling at his side and asked, “What happened?” onlooker Christina Smith, 21, told The Post”. https://nypost.com/2021/10/07/new-je...ding-on-a-bmw/ |

"uh, yeah, it sure is a real miracle and stuff. We have no idea how Domagoj Dukec fell from all the way up there in the first place. Because we weren't even up there. Yeah, we just got here. Sure is lucky. REAL lucky." |

She quickly called 911, then took jaw-dropping photos and videos of the aftermath, including graphic footage of the man screaming in pain with upper body injuries.
Just goes to show how tightly sealed new BMWs are when all closed up. Neat story. Dude is pissed he didn't die though...

He's lucky it was actually a Bimmer rather than a Beemer. Just sayin'
