A man who underwent the world’s first face and double hand transplant has shared his sweet engagement photos online. In 2018, Joe DiMeo fell asleep at the wheel of his car after working a night shift. The car crashed after he hit a curb and erupted into flames. The New Jersey-based 26 year old only survived because two onlookers pulled him out of the fiery explosion. By the time he arrived at the hospital, 80 percent of Joe’s body was covered in third-degree burns. He was in a medically induced coma for two months then underwent more than 20 reconstructive surgeries before his doctors finally found a match for him to receive a face and hand transplant.
