"I have looked over the edge into the abyss, and I know, that's not where I wanted to be."

Said John All, who fell into a crevasse in Nepal. Watch the video, which includes video of himself at the bottom of his fall, having broken his arm and contemplating how to get back to the world of the living.

ALSO: In China, a baby fell out of a window and was lucky to get caught by a guy. The baby was caught by a passerby, and the catching was caught on video, I guess by someone who happened to be there. (Staged?)

AND: Bear saves baby bear.

People fall down but survive. Bear is lifted up and survives. Is the point captured by "survive," by down/up or by but/and?

The baby thing was pretty cool.

Still, a part of me wanted to see the two guys start shoving each other around.

Climbing alone?....in Nepal?
Is it questionable judgment, or is he just suicidal?
He has a Phd, but I'm sure he's not a rocket scientist.

In China, someone is ALWAYS there.

Dr. John All, a geography lecturer from West Kentucky University who specializes in mountain science, was collecting snow samples on Mount Himlung, close to Everest in the Nepal Himalaya, when he fell into a deep crevasse which had been hidden by recent heavy snow
