Default E. Hempfield man is 'one lucky dude'

Quote:
The 42-year-old East Hempfield Township man was motoring home from Baltimore, when he saw drivers in front of him swerving to avoid something on the highway.

Then he saw something cartwheeling through the air.

Within seconds, a blunt, battered, 3-foot-long metal bar catapulted through his windshield, shattering a hole in the glass.

The bar was headed directly for Klingseisen's throat, "just below where you tie a knot in your tie," according to one astonished witness.

But by some miracle, the bar hit Klingseisen's steering wheel, flipped down and landed on his dashboard, instead of piercing Klingseisen's windpipe.

Miracle? LOL.

Also, I'd say the guy is extremely unlucky if anything. Is getting a metal rod through your windshield a good day at the office?

We may not have to worry about bears and cougars anymore, but we still have to be mindful of penetrating pipe.

Does anything really change?

In Dutch we have a saying: 'Geluk bij het ongeluk', which means, 'having good luck during bad luck'. This is a textbook example of that.
