I still can’t quite believe this happened.
A while ago, my iPhone 14 accidentally fell from the 32nd floor of a building, all the way down to the ground.
When I found it on the grass, I honestly expected the worst. But surprisingly, the screen wasn’t cracked, the phone had no obvious damage, and everything seemed to work normally.
The crazy part? It’s been a whole month since then, and I’m still using the same phone every day. The screen, cameras, buttons, battery and all the other functions are working just fine. No issues so far!
I did have a protective case on it, but I think landing on the grass probably made a huge difference. Maybe the angle of impact helped too. I guess I got incredibly lucky.
And honestly, the biggest relief wasn’t even the phone surviving. It happened at night, and thankfully nobody was around when it fell. It landed on a side of the building where people rarely walk, so nobody was hurt.
I keep thinking about how differently this story could have ended. A working phone is great, but knowing nobody got injured is what really matters.
Has anyone else ever had an accident where something survived against all odds? I’d love to hear your stories!
I’m trying to figure out what 32 floor building has green space right where someone could drop a phone and not have it bounce somewhere that would cause everything to shatter.
The story doesn’t check out. Your story about the flip phone in he quarry was way better and actually believable
The older I get the more I notice true stories that are stranger than fiction.
With 7 billion people or so reporting in, a lot of unlikely things become likely.
This isn’t just a claim—it’s the truth. I find it hard to believe myself, but it actually happened; it’s likely what you’d call a low-probability event. > I’m trying to figure out what 32 floor building has green space right where someone could drop a phone and not have it bounce somewhere that would cause everything to shatter.
