Crane crushes car, lucky driver climbs out of roof
Fortunately, the car had a sunroof, and the driver was able to climb out of it.
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
If a long list of lucky escapes was ever made, this one would surely rank among the top five.
A driver in China had a narrow escape after a crane fell on his car while he was driving, crushing the vehicle completely. Fortunately, his car had a sunroof, and the driver was able to climb out of it.
He was taken to the hospital and treated for fractures in his right ankle.
The incident took place when the 29-year-old, identified only as Li, was heading to work in China's Zhuzai province on Tuesday.
A CCTV footage of the road shows the moment the crane fell on the car, crushing the front part of the white Audi completely. People feared the worst, but in a miraculous moment, the driver emerged out of the flattened car alive.
"There was no sign at all and I think I was in a blind spot when the crane fell. My mind went blank and I was holding the pain when I crawled out of the car," Daily Mail quoted the driver.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
