Today is the seventh anniversary of a day when Andy Lyon clearly had a horse shoe embedded somewhere on his body. In celebration of his survival, Lyon posted this video to Firefighter Nation (thanks Bill Carey). Here’s the description that Lyon wrote:
Seven years ago (March 19, 2003) the Denver area was hit with a massive spring blizzard. Three feet of wet snow collapsed and damaged many roofs. I had the good fortune (since I survived) to be filming inside a store called US Toy & Constructive Playthings when a partial collapse turned into a complete collapse. The resulting rush of air blew me out the open door like a champagne cork (yes, I was actually airborne). Mind you, I knew the rest of the roof might come down and stupidly went inside (again) anyway. A mistake I won’t make again. The video is more of an audio experience since I was shooting a closeup at the time of collapse, but you’ll get the idea.
