Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Call it a providential escape or what you will.
A driver miraculously survived when the BMW car she was driving plunged from a seven-storey car park in Texas, reports say.
CCTV footage released by the police shows a BMW going down from the top floor of a car park in Austin on July 13.
The police said the woman accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal and crashed through the parking garage barriers.

The woman, who suffered "non-life-threatening injuries", was taken to a nearby medical centre.
According to KXAN, another car "drove through the retention wires of the same garage and was left dangling nine stories in the air, but didn't fall" last September.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
