Plane falls on man
A man has escaped serious injury after the nose of an aircraft collapsed on him this afternoon at Melbourne's Essendon Airport.

The engineer, aged in his 40s, is recovering in hospital.

Essendon Airport general manager Tim Anderson says he is amazed the man survived as the machinery weighs about four tonnes.

"I don't know the individual but he seems to be pretty tough because he got up at the time and wanted to keep working but his work mates at the time encouraged him to call an ambulance," he said.

2. My boss the chef saved a man's life once
He was walking along a sidewalk and a construction guy fell four stories and landed on him. They were both pretty messed up, obviously, but the doc said the guy would've died if he hadn't landed on him.

They still correspond to this day. :)
