Worker survives bar through skull
A 24-year-old Brazilian construction worker survived after a six-foot
metal bar fell from the fifth floor and pierced his head.

Doctors at Rio de Janeiro's Miguel Couto Hospital removed the bar from
Eduardo Leite's skull during a five-hour-long operation, the Globo TV
network reported.

Hospital spokesman Luiz Essinger said Mr Leite was lucid and showed no
ill effects of the operation.

He said "it really was a miracle" that Mr Leite survived.

The bar fell from the fifth floor of a building under construction, went
through his hard hat, entered the back of his skull and exited between
his eyes.

He doesn't look very healthy in that picture!
