A SUICIDAL man plunged more than 400ft from a block of flats and survived - after landing on a parked car.

Thomas Magill, 22, thundered through the rear window and landed on the back seat. He was "stable" in hospital last night after breaking his legs.

The aspiring actor jumped from the 39th floor of the block where he used to live.


Magill, who had written "I hate my life" on Facebook, hit 126mph before crashing into the red Dodge Charger. He was conscious throughout his ordeal in New York's Upper West Side.

Witness Andrew Petrocelli said: "That's a miracle if I've ever seen one. He should be a goner.

"He came down feet first with his hands up. Just as he's about to land there was a boom of glass flying all over."

The Dodge's owner Guy McCormack, 40, said: "My car saved his life."

If that was a 70's Charger, I'd have dragged the guy out of it then punched him in the face.
