Think about all the little things that saved this guy's life and the other little things that could have got him out of there before this happened. Wild.

What was that anyway? And where is this?

The coincidences are amazing.....
Only guy in parking lot currently clearing snow off his car.
Surveillance camera perfectly aimed at his car.
Cement slab has a perfect hit on the car, in the perfect center of the camera.
What are the chances?

With my luck, it would happen in the middle of the night and there would be no camera.

(I'd love to know what made the guy 'look up' - perhaps hearing the slab tear away from the building? )
