A man jumped nine stories from a high-rise building in Jersey City, NJ on Wednesday morning, landed on a parked BMW — and miraculously survived, according to media reports citing officials and a witness.
Disturbing footage shared online by a bystander shows the man agonizing on the floor next to the vehicle moments after the fall. The collapsed BMW with shattered windows was also captured.

A witness told the Daily Voice that the man landed with a very loud noise and was screaming for help.
"The sound was very loud," Christina Smith told the publication. "He was screaming 'help.’ I was trying to tell him to calm down and stop moving."
The man was rushed to the hospital and remained hospitalized Thursday afternoon in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, according to city officials.
Police said the incident did not involve any suspicious activity but they are still investigating, according to Wallace-Scalcione.
