It's not impossible that the kid would be unharmed, it's just highly improbable. He would have needed to be hit just the right way and landed just the right way. The video is lousy though. It could almost be photoshopped and there wouldn't be much difference. :)

He was lucky the car knocked him out of it's way and not strait down the stairs.

I find it interesting that the term "freaked out" is commonly used in Turkey. :wink:

So did I. :)

I didn't think this was impossible, I just think its incredible he didn't get hurt. Also, how does one photoshop a video - frame by frame? :think:

A note about CCTV (Closed Circuit Television): The quality of the video depends on how much money you want to pay for HDD storage. The FPS (frames per second) can be as low as one every other second up to DVD quality. Those cameras run all day long and the storage you want depends on how long you want to keep the video before trashing it.

"The difference between sentiment and sentimentality is easy to see. When you
avoid killing somebody's pet on the glazeway, that's sentiment. If you swerve
to avoid the pet and that causes you to kill pedestrians, that is
sentimentality."

I meant to point that out as well... oops.

Nice quote Freak, profoundly appropriate.
