Re: Lucky escape!
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.

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

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?

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.

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."

Nice quote Freak, profoundly appropriate.
