"You think you had a bad Monday. Chinese bus driver Mao Zhihao has nerves of steel, reflexes of lightning, a head of levelness, the luck of the Irish, and a few days off work healing his ruptured spleen in the hospital. Why? He's recovering from a spectacular accident at the start of this week in which his moving bus was rammed by a toppling steel lamp post. Basically, he jousted with a flying street lamp, and lost.
Or won?
Despite having only a fraction of a second to see what was happening, he managed to duck, roll, and avoid the foot-diameter steel pole that smashed through his windshield and the rest of the bus. What was he doing while everyone in back was screaming? Pinned on his side, unable to see the road, he was steering the bus to the curb by feel, gearing down, and braking. Once the bus had come to the prescribed complete halt safety announcers are always nagging us about, he got out from under the pole, grabbed his cell phone to document the accident (good lad!), helped the passengers off the bus, then made a report to the police.
Then and only then did he go to the hospital for the potentially fatal ruptured spleen which he hadn't noticed at first because he was busy."
