Is it possible to fly off building's roof in a gust of wind


In a 3rd season, Monica Mancuso is blown off the roof of the Montecito
and deposited approx. 3 miles down the strip at the Wynn. Is this possible?
Blown off a roof and fly for three miles? Anyone know the answer, because
I can't believe the flying three miles part.

Yeah, with the high winds they get in Vegas and being on top of a 12+ story building and the right angle and as petite as Monica was....it's possible.

Plus with what she was wearing.

By Grabthar's Hammer...what a savings.

LOL...yeah wearing a big mumu type dress didn't help any.

I'm watching the whole thing finally now...and I came here to post just this. Quite odd. I was like HUH? WHAT?

I have a hard time believing that this would be possible. I've never heard of something like this happening - it's a pretty ridiculous death.

I think that's a good one for Mythbusters.

It's a TV show......anything can happen...

reply

Yes but how it was set up was all wrong. When it gets that windy you can't hear anything.

As for the 3 miles.... while under construction the Stratosphere had several sheets of plywood 4x8 fly off the top. They never made it out of the parking lot.

It can easily happen. I was out in Vegas a few yrs back and same thing happened to me.. Sadly I died from the fall but hey it's Vegas ;-)

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? LOL
You died there but in the rest of the country you still live. 

I thought she was wearing a wing suit but then she died.
