BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Witnesses say they saw a woman throw herself from the 23rd story of a Buenos Aires hotel Monday and survived.
The woman landed in a sitting position on the roof of a taxi whose driver got out just before the impact deeply dented his roof and shattered the windshield.
The woman, a 30-year-old Argentine, was rushed to the nearby Hospital Argerich, where she was being operated on for injuries including internal bleeding and broken hips and ribs, Alberto Crescenti, director of Argentina's Emergency Medical System, told the government news agency Telam. He estimated that she fell nearly 100 meters (330 feet).
The taxi driver, who gave his name as Miguel, reportedly said he saw a policeman looking up and that prompted him to get out just before the driver's side of the car was smashed by the woman's body.
Another taxi driver, Juan Carlos Candame, told Associated Press Television News that he saw the woman climb over a barrier and jump into the void.
The woman plunged from the top of the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano, where a restaurant overlooks the landmark Obelisk in downtown Buenos Aires. Source: http://www.khq.com/Global/story.asp?S=13898073 | |

| I have read of several cases where somebody falls from a great height, usually the roofs of buildings or out of windows, and they live, and something I've noticed, almost all of the ones I read about are in Argentina or somewhere near there, you NEVER hear about that happening in America or anywhere else usually, why is that? | |

| Wow - amazing story - Glad the cab driver got out okay. With the way the women dented his cab, he might have been the one to not make it. | |
