A man has miraculously cheated death after being hit by a 15 tonne lorry - leaving him so badly injured his insides were left strewn across the road. :|

Lewis Godfrey, 23, suffered such horrendous injuries that doctors on the scene pronounced him dead twice.

A team of 34 doctors and nurses were called in to save his life after he was rushed to hospital with his body parts held together in a blanket.

He had a substantial head injury and his skin had been ripped off his body in a band about a foot wide. His bowel had been damaged and his bladder ripped off.

Mr Godfrey, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, went on to spend 16 days in a coma. He was expected never to walk again and to have brain damage.

But five months after the horror smash, he has made a full recovery.

He said: 'It has taken a while for everything to sink in. Sometimes I can?t believe I?m here. I can?t remember anything from the fight or the accident, but I am really shocked when my dad tells me bits about what happened.

'I think it?s probably just as well I can?t remember anything. I was gutted when the doctors told me I would never walk again, but I was just glad to be here.

'I was determined to get my life back on track now, and with the help of a lot of people, I?m now able to walk around again.'

Wow... That is amazing. Glad to hear he survived, and can walk again. Should be fortunate that we have doctors and science to thank for his second chance at life. Hope he lives it well.

(Also, had to google a "lorry." We just call that a truck, or semi, or semi-truck. Never heard lorry before.)

What does that even mean?

It means...

When it is your time to die, there is no escaping it. In this case, it was NOT this individuals time to die, therefore he somehow survived what most people would not. Have you never heard the saying before?

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.

      I already have AI "Scareware blocker" on my private profile, it's in "Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Security". I've disabled it because I know what scareware is and don't need AI to tell me.
