Ludovic Masciave is a 36 year old father of 2 who was driving his car through the French alps on February 10. He was driving on a road under a large rock face on the opposite side of a mountain of a popular ski hill. As he was driving a 20-ton boulder crashed down onto the top of his car, leaving his 4x4 car so badly damaged investigators couldnt tell the make of it. Investigators say that the overuse of the mountain area around the boulder eroded so much that the boulder became loose and fell from the mountain at just a moment to land on Masciave's car. Masciave says he remembers waking up in the car and being "completely compressed" with his back against the bottom of the door and his torso being pushed down upon by the boulder. As recuers arrived on scene they were all expecting the worst, a dead body, though as they freed Masciave's body from the car they saw a miracle. Masciave was lucky enough to have been able to compress himself into a small enough area to live through this severe and nerve racking event. He is in the hospital now, condition improving, and says he is just glad to have earned another chance to live.
