I Shouldn't Be Alive

You know that show on Discovery Channel? These pretty crazy situations where people get lost or something and basically go through hell for a few days and should have died, but live through it? Well, this is one of those situations. This guy's twin engine plane went down in Florida, and he survived with only minor injuries. That picture is just crazy. What would you be thinking if you were in that situation? Probably something along the lines of "I shouldn't be alive." More, including a large version of that picture, after the jump.



From The Age:

"A small cargo plane, flying over a busy highway, began losing steam and doing cartwheels in the sky over Florida.

Then it struck a warehouse, clipping its right wing, and crashed into a grassy swale on the side of the road — just meters from oncoming traffic.

The pilot of the fixed-wing twin-engine Beech 18, Robert Robertson, survived, with only minor injuries. The only person on board, Mr Robertson broke his left leg, left arm and nose and has a gash on his forehead."
The story goes on to talk about the reactions of the rescue workers that arrived on scene, and how surprised they were to see this guy just sitting there, breathing and conscious, right in the middle of the destroyed cockpit.
