Bell was unfortunate enough to take 19 of the bullets. The diagram above shows the location of the bullets. The NYTimes has more.

Man Dives Off 80ft High Diving Board

The photo above show Joe Egan diving off an 80ft diving board at the Marin County Fair in Florida. It takes two seconds to hit the water at 60mph.

He's got a long way to go to beat the world record though which stands at 200ft. The diver who managed that broke his spine in the process. Link

Man Plans To Freefall From 120,000ft

A daredevil ex-SAS soldier is to attempt a record-breaking skydive — from 120,000ft. This would smash the previous record of 102,000ft set back in 1960 by US Air Force officer Joseph Kittinger (video).

He will freefall for seven minutes before opening his parachute, and could break the 770mph sound barrier as he hurtles towards the ground. No human has ever travelled at such a speed outside an aircraft — and Steve has no idea how his body will react.

He will need a pressurised space suit in temperatures of -100°C and risks going into an 800 revolutions per second spin. Link

Ice From Plane Flattens Shed

Lloyd Gater had his garden shed demolished – by a block of ice from a plane’s toilet. Lloyd, 32, feared Armageddon when he heard an ear-splitting crash as he sat down to dinner with his family.

He ran into the garden to find the shed in ruins, and a chunk of ice the size of a television set embedded in the wreckage.

Builder Lloyd, a dad of two, said: “The ice was everywhere and bits of the shed were scattered all over the lawn.

“We’re not that far from Heathrow and Gatwick airports, so I suppose it must have fallen off a plane as it came into land. Link

Woman Survives Coat Hanger Into Her Eye

A 53-year-old woman is lucky to have not lost her sight after a metal coat rack hangar got stuck in her eye.

Geri Rivero talked about the traumatic injury to her face and her remarkable recovery. She was at a holiday party when she stumbled and fell onto the coat rack.

Renowned New York Plastic Surgeon Henry Spinelli performed the emergency surgery on Rivero at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

The hanger went through the inferior region of her right eye into her ethmoid and maxillary sinus spaces and across her face. The hook of the hanger perforated her skull and eye socket.

Rivero was actually alert and oriented on arrival to the emergency room.

Dr. Spinelli used a high powered saw to cut the metal hook just below her eye.

Rivero was awake during that procedure. Then, under anesthesia, Dr. Spinelli surgically removed the hook from beneath her right eye and sinus cavity by cutting through her cheek and jaw bones and removing the knob through a surgical opening in her mouth.

She is now being seen as an out-patient and is doing exceedingly well, Dr. Spinelli said.

MyFox NY has got more photos and a video if you can stomach it.
