This is a true story............

In 1976, a 22-year-old Irishman, Bob Finnegan, was crossing the busy Falls Road in Belfast, when he was struck by a taxi and flung over its roof.

The taxi drove away and as Finnegan lay stunned in the road, another car ran into him, rolling him into the gutter.
It too drove on.

As a knot of gawkers gathered to examine the magnetic Irishman, a delivery van ploughed through the crowd, leaving in its wake 3 injured bystanders, and an even more battered Bob Finnegan.

When a fourth vehicle came along, the crowd wisely scattered and only one person was hit -- Bob Finnegan.

In the space of two minutes, Finnegan suffered fractured skull, broken pelvis, broken leg, and other assorted injuries.

Hospital officials said he would recover.
