    I heard another great story.... A construction worker carrying a sheet of plywood past an open breezeway was swept off the seventh floor of a building. He held onto the plywood during his downward journey and glided across a four lane street then crashed through a pate glass window of an opposite building. He survived relatively intact. True, partly true or urban myth?
