In this photograph taken with a mobile phone, a woman lies injured atop a taxi where she fell from the 23rd floor of the Hotel Panamericano in Buenos Aires on Jan. 24. A spokesman for the SAME emergency medical services told media that the unidentified 30-year-old woman survived with multiple injuries the fall onto the top of a taxi, whose driver had stepped out just moments before the impact. Hotel spokesmen confirmed that the woman fell from the 23rd floor, although she was not a registered guest, and couldn't confirm the reason for the fall.
It's amazing now that cell phones with cameras are the norm in so many areas, that moments we would have in the past had to depend on the imaginations of movie directors to witness, are now able to be captured by passers by.
