A suicidal man jumped to a seemingly certain death from a 40-story Upper West Side rooftop yesterday -- but miraculously survived when he landed on a sports car, police said. Listen here for the morning show's reaction.

Tom Magill, 22, suffered just a broken leg, a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung after his 10:44 a.m. leap from atop the West End Towers on West End Avenue at 63rd Street.

"I can't believe this. My car saved his life," said Guy McCormack, 40, a worker at a nearby construction site who had borrowed the 2008 red Dodge Charger from his wife.

Magill fell more than 400 feet -- and reached a maximum drop speed of about 126 mph -- before crashing onto the roof and rear window of the vehicle, which was parked along the west side of the building.

Construction workers and the building's superintendent witnessed Magill's leap from the roof, and some residents told cops they saw him soaring past their windows.

Anthony Monteforte, a contractor who heard Magill slam into the muscle car, said "he looked like a pretzel. There was not much blood."

Another construction worker heard a "huge thud."

Remarkably, Magill was conscious when EMS arrived, and a police source said he "wasn't likely" to die. He also did not suffer brain damage.

"It's amazing. If he hit the pavement, it would've been worse," said building tenant Kim Courtney.

Police said no suicide note was found. But Magill says on his Facebook page, "I hate my life."

A friend, who last saw Magill Sunday, said, "I'd really hate to think he did it on purpose."

Magill, who lives on West 52nd Street, used to rent an apartment in the West End Towers until graduating from Fordham University last year.

Every president eventually puts his own mark on the Oval Office, decoratively speaking, and the White House unveiled the Obama makeover on Tuesday, just hours before a major presidential speech on Iraq from his famous Resolute Desk (still there.)

Enter bathroom. Lock door. Kick Web addiction.

A 34-year-old Astoria comedian is flushing his digital dependency by holing up in his bathroom for five days, with the wacky campaign kicking off in the tiled, pink room Monday.

"I fell like I was losing control and needed to do something extreme," said Mark Malkoff, while sitting in the tub that now doubles as his bed.

All jokes aside, Internet addiction has become a serious problem, with the potential to strain relationships, rob sleep and fuel other compulsions such as gambling and pornography, psychologists say.

She is also going to continue studying towards a college degree in psychology. She goes on to say, "I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions. My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal."
