Not sure where to post this, but we thank God for saving this boy's life.


NEW YORK (CNN) -- A 19-year-old New York University student is recovering after being stuck in a two-foot gap between an NYR dorm and a garage.

Vongtau was conscious and talking to fire fighters as he was being wheeled away to an ambulance. For almost two days, the NYU student was trapped between a parking garage and an 18 story apartment building. The area where Vogntau was found is a space between two walls only two feet wide.

Firefighters had to break through a cinderblock wall in the parking garage to reach Vogntau. The rescue information lasted an hour and a half and not a moment too soon for Vogntau.

Vogntau disappeared early Saturday morning. Someone pulled the fire alarm in his NYU apartment building. Friends said when everyone was leaving the apt building, they noticed Vogntau running back in and that was the last time he was seen.

His friends got worried after he was a no call, no show. They went door to door asking people. They also say they tried to file a missing person's report with police, but were told Vogntau had to be missing for at least 72 hours. Finally they suggested NYU security check the roof of the building. They looked over the edge and saw Vogntau wedged between two walls.

It's believed Vongtau may have fallen through a 5th floor window, but for now it's just a theory in a bizarre accident that left an NYU student in a precarious position for nearly two days in the cold.

ok- but why did he run back? Was it for him to finish his piece of weed or something? Why is he bearing Vongatu? Is he a child from asian parentage?How is he a Nigerian? Just black skin and big lips I suppose.

Show some compassion. Is that the only reason for running back into the building that you could have come up with? BTW Vongtau is a name born by middle belters.

You don't come across as a typical Nigerian sir, if I may say so.

According to him, if it's not Chukwudi, Adewale or Usman then it's not a Nigerian name.

@topic
The guy is very lucky to have survived after two days.

Vongtau sounds like a name from Plateau state. Try and widen your scope. You don't have to be Ibo, Hausa or Yoruba to be Nigerian.

What sorta Nigerian name is that VONGTAU

I don't care what his name is, but I certainly know it's a mistake. The Nok and Lantan are the closest to that kinda name, but otherwise, that dude ain't Nigerian.

That kid is too Lucky. He should be grateful to his friends for being worried about his absence. Divine intervention indeed saved him from getting stuck in that position. Had it being he was not noticed running back to the apt building, he would have been history! I wish him quick recovery
