Mystery; irony
Situation: I was in a wreck that totaled both cars; as the first rescue person approached my vehicle, he called me in as an apparent fatality. In the wreck, my seat broke and I was ejected into the back of the vehicle. I came to a stop with my head wedged in the back windshield. I had to be cut out of the car. The wreck drew two fire trucks, three ambulances, and three police cars, and closed the highway for up to an hour.
Mystery: I not only survived, but my worst injury was concussion. Now, concussion (as I've learned to my sorrow) is not a small injury. But it's neither a fatal nor permanent one, either. I had no lacerations, no broken bones, no internal injuries. Moreover, my iPod, cell phone, glasses, sunglasses, and Palm Pilot were unscathed.
Irony: One day during the recovery, I fell asleep in my chair, and my PowerBook slipped off my lap and to the floor. Its hard drive appears to be fried.

This is tragedy! Was much lost? Have you consulted anyone about drive restoration?
