Miracle Plunge?

The Gold coast Bulletin Wed June 25th.
An abseiling window cleaner survived a seven storey plunge from a surfers Paradise high rise.
Apparently Walter Torres was cleaning windows on the Solaire apartments when he fell, hitting a beam on the way down and being pulled up short 10ft from the ground by his harness.
The headlines read ''Man's miracle plunge''.
Was his plunge a miracle or the fact that he survived the fall?
These kind of stupid blunders make me feel very disheartened with local journalism and the local ''rag'' which might prompt you to ask ''why do I read it?''- I wonder myself!
