Actor Jeremy Renner had 30 broken bones from the snowplow rolling on top of him


'Avengers' star Jeremy Renner says he broke 30 bones in snowplow accident


A 911 call log obtained by CNN says Renner was "completely crushed under a large snowcat (vehicle)" and that he had "extreme (difficulty) breathing." It goes on to read that, "the right side of his chest is collapsed -- upper torso is crushed."

Renner's snowcat, an engine-powered machine used to clear snow, started to roll away while Renner was off the driver's seat, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam previously said.

Renner, who plays superhero archer Hawkeye in the Marvel movie and TV "Universe," posted a photo on Instagram with a caption that read:
"Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years .... Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love ❤️ I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I .... Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all."

Monday night, the "Mayor of Kingstown" star replied to a Twitter post from the show, writing, "Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home."

Saw one DU prediction right that he had lost a limb after it was announced he had suffered a "traumatic' injury

The initial report was that he might lose his leg, but this sounds like he almost died.
Prayers for Jeremy Renner! What a horrible accident.

He had 30 broken bones in one incident.
That's 30 more than I've had my whole life. (Well, sort of. I had a lateral crack in a metatarsal on my left hand. Other than taping it tightly for about a week, they did nothing else. It barely hurt. Just a dull ache for a couple days. So, I'll still call it zero.)

Carpels (and meta carpels) clap.
Tarsals (and metatarsals) TAP.

If you have metatarsals in your hand that must have involved interesting transplant surgery or a very serious kick in the hand.

Stupid autocorrect!
I just checked and my dictionary knows metatarsal but not metacarpal, so it "helped" me out.
D'oh!
I should have read it over before I posted.
