Michael Winter, author of The Big Why and other books I’ve greatly enjoyed reading, has survived falling into an inferno. Speaking of the big why — why? Why was he near an inferno?

According to Quill and Quire, Michael was at the city dump, unloading some roofing from his room, lost his balance and fell into the open air inferno.

Quill reports: ‘Luckily for Winter, the usually deserted dump was not entirely deserted on this particular day. Sitting nearby, according to the author, was a solitary man enjoying some spirits who caught sight of Winter falling into the incinerator. ìHe saw me fall in, got help, opened the back doors [of the incinerator], and I flew out with my arm on fire,î says Winter.’
Quite an X-men story: Winter wrestles Inferno.
