Buenos Aires, July 2 (IANS/EFE) An Argentinean plumber fell from the eighth floor of an under-construction building but survived with only a broken arm, a media report said.
Raul Lopez, 37, who has been dubbed ‘the miracle man’, suffered the fall Wednesday while he was working on an air conditioning duct in a building in Cordoba city, the Clarin daily reported.
‘I was on top of a board that moved and I went down, falling from a height of about 20 metres, but some pieces of wood on the first floor cushioned the impact a little,’ the worker said, adding that he never lost consciousness during the incident.
Lopez said he does not intend ever again to go up on any scaffolding.
