Man Goes Home After Falling 16 Stories

Both the Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune are reporting that a Wisconsin man who fell 16 stories out of a hotel window is going home from the hospital today. Miraculously, the man suffered no brain or spinal damage. The only injuries he did recieve from the fall were a broken leg and a punctured lung. Both stories also say the 29-year-old remembers the fall, although he won't speak publicly about it.

Both the Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune have written pretty much the same thing about the story. Both stories take a more personal approach near the end with quotes from family members and loved ones.
