Oregon Man Narrowly Escapes Death by Runaway Saw Blade
EUGENE, Ore. An Oregon man narrowly escaped death by a runaway saw blade. Shane Reimche is lucky to be alive after narrowly dodging a concrete saw that came loose from a nearby construction site and hurtled towards him on March 28. Surveillance video shows the four-foot blade barreling just moment before Reimche walked into a convenient store in Eugene on Thursday. "I mean, obviously it wasn't my time but probably closest I've ever experienced," said Reimche. Reimche could be seen entering the store when, just a few seconds later, the blade slammed into the exterior wall of the store, inches away from the door. "I was walking into the store here, I put my hand on the door and I heard a loud bang and yelling here at the corner," recalled Reimche. "Just as a cloud of smoke pops up and I see a guy fall in the ditch, and four-foot blade hurtling at me. " The impact was so strong that the owner of the store said the entire building shook. "We were standing behind the counter, all I heard was metal rolling down the street," said Amit Grewa. "It was just wind, all of a sudden we heard a loud bang. It shook the whole store." A contractor on the scene who witnessed the incident said the blade may have gotten loose from a lost bolt in addition to potential operator error. Reimche said he's grateful to be alive. "I'm thankful to be here. I was thinking maybe it's my time, I don't think I would've survived being touched by that thing." |

Eugene has finally made DR. My old stomping grounds. I moved away just in time to avoid getting hit by that blade. |

I saw James Bond handle one of these in a movie once. It didn't look that difficult. But this one WAS bigger than the James Bond saw. I will say that. "I see" said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw.  |

You'd never believe it if it wasn't on video, that's once in a lifetime footage & just by chance camera placement to capture it.  |
