An 85 year old man in China went to open his window...but...he fell out the window from 5 stories up!!! But you know someone was looking after him! Because between his floor and the next, a nail protruding out of the wall snagged his clothing and held his weight for 30 minutes before help arrived to get him down!!!
A nail!!! For 30 minutes!!! OK, someone is definitely watching out for him!!!
What do you think?

haha that's messed up, and completely insane.
But someone was indefinately watching over him, there's no way someone wasn't...
You defiantely don't hear a story like this often, it's great, gives you a nice feeling to know that there's definately some kind of angels watching over the us.(At least some of us :P)

That is a really amazing story!! Someone had to be looking out for him. His life is not yet complete! I am surprised more so by his shirt not ripping! That is really cool...

It seems to be commonplace that something strange saves someone's life. Several instances of this are:
A police badge saved the life of a police officer, because someone tried to stab him, but ended up stabbing the badge. In another case, a mugger tried to shoot a business executive, but a pen saved him. The bullet hit the pen & was deflected. I am sure that there are plenty of unreported cases like this out there about strange objects saving people's lives in some strange way or another.

I would definitly say that someone was watching out for him. He really must have something more to do in this world. I bet he won't take anything for granted in the future either after something like that. I know I wouldn't. It's amazing how something that small saved him that way. I'm sure he sent up a few thoughts of thanks.

Oh wow, what an amazing story. I so think that his angel was watching over him that day. That is just GREAT though. I am so happy he was saved and hung by a nail for goodness sake for 30 minutes.

I've watched the news on TV. The old man was really scared a lot. I haven't seen the nail but i'm sure it must be a big one.

We if your asking if I believe if angels or some higher power saved him then I say no I just think the man was incredibly luck to survive and have that nail hold on for so long. It was a pretty amazing story though so thanks for sharing with all of us.

Just shows you that you do not go before your time. In this age of technology we will probably hear more of this kind of news. I am glad for him, as I do honor older people. We can learn so much from them and we sadly need it in this time we live in. Thanks for sharing this since this positively is soooo needed by me this week.
