An 85-year-old Chinese man fell out of his fifth floor window and would've plunged to his death had he not been saved by an errant nail:
The nail in the wall, between the fourth and fifth floors, snagged his clothing and held his weight until help arrived.
After 30 minutes hanging from the outside of the building in Zhengzhou city, Henan province, Zhao Jingzhi was rescued by firefighters.
For some reason this reminds me of the scene in "The Naked Gun" where Frank Dreben grabs onto a statue's wang to prevent himself from falling off a ledge.
Not being an American, it doesn't bother me so much, but the venom can't help your own mental state.
Try to let go of your hatred.
...oh, and he'd sue the city for taking too long to rescue him...
