'Miracle' as man falls 200ft from hotel and lives

Doctors have hailed the "miracle" survival of a man who plunged from the 17th floor of a city centre hotel.

Joshua Hanson landed on his feet after crashing through a window at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Minneapolis and falling onto a roof overhang almost 200ft (60 metres) below. He suffered multiple broken bones and internal injuries and was in a critical condition in the city's Hennepin County Medical Centre last night.
