SkyDiver saved by Bush
No not Dubya - the other kind of Bush ...

A skydiving instructor who plunged to earth when both his parachutes failed, says his last words before impact were: "Shit, I'm going to die".
Michael Holmes, 25, went into a spin when his main parachute became tangled during a 4,000m drop over Taupo in New Zealand last week, but survived when he landed in a blackberry bush.
"When the second parachute didn't open I realised it was all over," he told The Times newspaper in London, from his bed in Waikato Hospital.
"I was going to die. You don't have much time to say goodbye. I just said: 'Shit I'm going to die'."
