Seventeen stories of stupidity

[debgeisler]

From this morning's BBC Online, comes this story out of MPLS:

An American man has survived after falling 17 floors from the window of a hotel in the US city of Minneapolis.

Joshua Hanson, 29, landed on a roof awning and suffered multiple broken bones with some internal injuries, but is expected to recover.

Mr Hanson crashed through the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of a corridor after returning to the Hyatt Regency after a night of drinking.

Hyatt says they're investigating how this could happen (and they should be...since it's a really bad idea to have easily-broken windows on the 17th floor).

I wonder how drunk this guy was.

I also wonder if sobriety will be his middle name for a good while to come.
