Firefighter Survives SUV Landing on Him
This is a one-in-a-million survival story from the New York Daily News (via Roanoke Firefighers).
A manhole explosion sent an SUV flying onto a Bronx firefighter - but he was miraculously saved by his helmet when he crashed clean through a side window.Firefighter Marc Kroenung, a 33-year-old married father of two, was helping extinguish a manhole fire Saturday when an underground explosion sent the Cadillac Escalade hurtling upward.
The giant SUV came down sideways, with the driver's side window shattering against Kroenung's helmet as the auto crashed to the pavement. He was left standing inside the overturned SUV.
This almost seems like something you would see in a cartoon. A couple of inches in any direction and Firefighter Kroenung could have been seriously injured or killed.
