Security video released Wednesday shows a train slamming into a flatbed truck as it crosses train tracks in Mersin, Turkey, on Feb. 25. The truck then smashes into 32-year-old Cem Tokac, who was standing near the tracks, and sends him sailing underneath the truck's trailer.
"I can't remember anything about the accident," Tokac told the paper. "I thought I was asleep. But when I woke up, I was not in my bed. I was on the ground."
Tokac said he was thankful to be alive, saying, "Life is really beautiful."

Survival Stories
Jamie Neale, a British teenager who was rescued in Australia after being missing for 12 days, said he was a "total idiot" to go hiking in the Blue Mountains unprepared. Neale, 19, told Australian TV he left for the hike on July 3 with only two bread rolls and a small bottle of water.
