Martin Knopper and his partner had several guardian angels in Graz last week: the couple were almost killed by falling building parts on their way home. He tells his hair-raising story to the "Krone" newspaper. The house in the city center is now being renovated and the cause is being investigated.

Severe pain and spinning thoughts have caused Martin Knopper a sleepless night. Once again: "Since the incident last Wednesday, my life has never been the same again," he says. "It's not easy to come to terms with what happened."
