Incredible recovery of the boy who severed both his hands and a foot | 60 Minutes Australia

Terry Vo is not just one of the nicest young men you'll ever meet, he's also one of the most courageous. In 2005, he was playing backyard basketball when a brick wall collapsed on top of him. Terry's injuries were horrific. Both his hands and left leg were completely severed. But in a world-first operation, a team of brilliant Perth surgeons reattached his limbs. I first met Terry in the days following the surgery as he began his long recovery. And even then, his unstoppable spirit shone through. At 14 years old, you'll see he's one very inspirational young man.
