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?

    • The future of Samsung's AI-powered education system

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
