Miracle of God. or sound physics with one individual who beat the probability of death?

Man (Jose Alcides Moreno) was cleaning the windows near the 50th floor of a New York skyscraper from a scaffolding platform suspended from metal cables when he and his co-worker who was also his brother fell and plummeted to the pavement below after the cables broke. One brother died, but the other guy not only lives to talk about it, but is expected to make a full recovery. I'm already expecting a inundation of email spam from my conservative christian family because it's obvious that this is a miracle? Need proof? Ok Jose (Moreno), who was in a coma following the incident awoke on Christmas day to speak to his wife.

"It's a bloody freaking Christmas Miracle" the media exclaims. Personally I think his brother paid for it. His brother Edgar ("Ummm Edgar, your skin! It's -- it's -- just hanging off your bones!") reached maximum velocity approximately the time his body came in contact with a sharp metal fence. I kid you not.

I mean, I don't care who you are, the probability of surviving a fall like that must be astronomical. Not to mention the creepiness of waking up on "Christmas day", and the number of 7's in this story. Jose was 37 years old, on the 47th floor and the accident happened on December (wait for it) 7th.

His wife, Rosario Moreno, cried as she thanked the doctors and nurses who kept him alive.

"Thank God for the miracle that we had," she said. "He keeps telling me that it just wasn't his time."

How about jumping wearing only a Flying Squirrel suit?

One can only assume God didn't like the survivor's brother very much.

So you're saying he was a flying Mexican squirrel?

No he was riding a mexican squirrel , his brother was riding a plain ol woods squirrel without the suit . 10 billion mexicans . 99 percent with no insurance the question is which percent wuz he . He will probably be the next president in 2008

Too bad he's "Jose" and not "Jesus" which would've gone great with "Rosario" his wife. Would you vote for Jesus?

Alcides immigrated to the United States 12 years ago and was a US Citizen. Edgar immigrated about a decade ago, was a legal resident and had applied for citizenship. Racial profiling is dangerous.

Which brings us to a funny story about my child who is Hispanic. He went into school one day when they were teaching the kids about mexican heritage, and the teacher asked if anyone was Hispanic, and he raised his hand... The teacher laughed and told him to sit down. He came hold and told Shannon (who is Hispanic) and said that his teacher didn't believe him.

Goes to prove, those pesky Mexicans are everywhere.... They'll show up in your ceral if your not careful... ride the little irish lucky charms right out of the bowl.
