Things you need to know

1. Man hit hard by double decker bus in the U.K. but isn’t phased

Video of a man taking the full impact of a double decker bus to the back is making the rounds online and it’s still hard to believe he’s alive. The incident, which happened in Reading, England, show the out of control bus hitting the man so hard the windshield smashes and he flies about 20 feet. He’s not phased, however, as he hops right up and enters the bar for a pint.
