A woman survived throwing herself from the 23rd storey of a Buenos Aires hotel when a waiting taxi broke her fall.

She landed in a sitting position on its roof just after the driver got out. The impact deeply dented the roof and shattered the windscreen.
Taxi driver Miguel Cajal said he got out of his parked taxi and ran for safety when he saw a policeman looking up at the woman, who fell from the top of the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano, where a
restaurant overlooks the landmark Obelisk in central Buenos Aires.
The 33-year-old woman was in the intensive care ward of a local hospital after the suicide attempt, the Telam agency said.

Taxi drivers always take preference towards women.

They'll still try and pin it on the taxi driver;)

Just when she had probably convinced herself that she was useless at everything, she goes and fails to kill herself from 23 stories! Poor girl.

Dave!

She probably stood there for a few hours trying to work up the courage to jump, and now she's gonna have to do it again Disaster for her, on many levels

Funny how they give the condition of the car before the woman.

Why would she go arse first if she was trying to kill herself?

Unless she was tryng to be cool and jump into the seat from the building and drive off.

It's going to be interesting call trying to explain this to the insurance company

Could be a frightfully cruel ending to the story if she ends up paralyzed.
