Excellent impression of a unicorn... very Omen-ish.

By the way, Maldives is one of those countries that banned Israelis due to recent events in Gaza. How will the jews ever survive this devastating economic embargo? I mean, the Maldives!

That rebar is in his neck too. I wonder how deep it is!?!

Absolutely amazing injury to be walking with. He is seriously one fortunate person. Well, as far as surviving this kind of accident.

Would love to see an x-ray of his body before surgery.

The 34-year-old Bangladeshi man is recovering from wounds after a 6 feet steel rod that fell from an upper floor pierced his body.

There were no bleedings from major internal organs. The iron rod pierced his face near the nose, and went down through his body up to the stomach.

The incident occurred when the foreigner poked his head out of the building when he heard the sound of steel falling from the sixth floor of the building. The man was wearing a helmet and safety boots.

His life was saved after a series of surgeries that lasted for about 9 hours.

Thank you very much Kelly. It really makes a huge difference in this post. Knowing a little about construction I knew he had some length of it inside himself. Crazy that it missed everything vital..
