45-54. Because New Yorkers Have Good Luck Even With Terrible Luck

ShareThis

Because this year …

… a man could fall face-flat on the third rail …

… a baby could be born on the Bowling Green subway platform …

… a man could have an AC unit accidentally fall on his head …

… a woman could get bitten by a rabid raccoon …

… a man could jump off a 40-story building and land on a Dodge Charger …

… a 3-year-old could tumble from a fourth-story window in the Bronx …

… a man minding his own business could get beaten up by a man dressed as a scary clown on Halloween …

… an MTA worker could fall off an elevated train platform in Queens onto a street …

… a man could crash his car on the Taconic State Parkway and get stuck in a swamp for four days …

… a family of six could find themselves in the midst of a building fire …

… and live.
