MINNEAPOLIS -- A man who plunged 16 stories from a Minneapolis hotel after breaking a window says he doesn't remember the fall but knows he's lucky to have survived.

Josh Hanson, 29, of Blair, Wis., was in Minneapolis for a dart tournament at the Hyatt Regency when he fell early the morning of Jan. 20. He said he and two friends had been drinking and took a cab back to the hotel.

Hanson said he doesn't know why he took off running down the hall after the group got off the elevator on the 17th floor. He said he doesn't remember hitting the glass or falling to an awning one story above the street.

He's home now, where he is co-owner of a bar. He still favors his right leg, which was broken. And still takes pain medication. But he expects to fully recover.

1. Well, that's probably just as well for him eh?

It's hard to believe a WI bar owner would party that hard though.

It's such a prim and proper state!
