This man is one of the luckiest people alive.
Less than 24 hours after America reeled from the tragic air disaster at Ronald Reagan International Airport, another plane crashed in Philadelphia.
As well as killing all the passengers on board, the crash led to explosions and flying debris and injuries to those close to the impact site.
Among those who made a lucky escape was this man sitting at a nearby restaurant.
Shocking footage circulating on social media shows the man ducking a piece of flying debris by mere centimetres, knocking his cap off in the process.
