About 7 months ago I flipped over my BMW 320i Coupe. Sucks big time. I was ok though, but my car was totalled!
Then just last February my dad had a terrible accident in the Ivory Coast. He was in a Isuzu SUV in the back with no seatbelt, on the highway going about 120kmh. They think a tire burst, and that started the car flipping. First it flipped from side to side about 4 times, and then it started going from front to back. It ended up on it's wheels in the middle part of the highway, facing the direction they were coming from.
The driver was best off. He only broke his colar bone. The passenger next to the driver had major head injuries. My dad had to pull him out throught the window, not knowing that he himself had just fractured his vertebra. They stopped a car that drove by with two Libanese doctors. (very lucky).
On top of all that riots and civil war started up again. So there he was, stuck in the Ivory Coast with a fractured vertebra and no way out. First they had organised that Air France would remove some seats that he could go in on a stretcher, and fly to Paris. But then the situation got soo bad that Air France cancelled all flights to Abidjan.
So in the end they got a plane to pick him up and fly him to Zurich. Now a couple months later he is doing pretty good. Thankfully it was a stable fracture, and it didn't need any surgery. He's walking again, and doing most stuff he used to do. He can't carry anything heavy though. But they say he should be fine.
Seriously though, you could right a Hollywood movie about the whole thing, how they got him out, with riots at the airport, and no landing permission for the plane. Crazy stuff!
(oh, and coincidentally he is in the Ivory Coast at this very moment, again
)
