This could only happen in New York City. Vangelis Kapatos felt his world was coming apart before a Manhattan suicide leap that he survived by landing on garbage piled up after the blizzard, relatives said Monday.
The 26-year-old had long battled depression and was struggling with a romantic breakup and his parents' declining health when he suddenly faced eviction from his childhood home.
He suffered a spinal cord injury in the nine-story fall and was in a medically induced coma at Bellevue Hospital. He underwent surgery Sunday, and is expected to have further surgery. He is likely to be paralyzed.

The poor bastard!
Just imagine having the garbage that surrounds your life prevent you from escaping it.
If he lived anywhere else he'd be dead now.
Just sayin'...
Sounds like he might have been better off had he been successful.
Damn....that's some sh*t luck....
