I posted this on the YouTube video, but I'll repost it here. I think the explanation is as follows: Treyarch - Damn! The Modern Warfare games brought back more characters from a previous installment! Obviously, we have to rip that off too, so who do we bring back? Reznov? Nah, he's dead. Dimitri? Nah, we pointlessly killed him off too. Damn. The only other character we have that people liked was Woods, and we killed him off too! Fuck it, we're going to bring him back anyway. By golly, if we're going to poorly rip off Modern Warfare, then we're all in!

The military did a Deus Ex HR style revive on him with machine parts(like mechanical lungs,heart,stomach etc.)? It's probable for the time period the game is set in.

Couldn't survive 5 grenades? Are you kidding, he took like 20 on the way into the cave and all it made him do was trip and fall over. You want think about something really weird my Captcha has FRANK in it

The pie chart was great. Laughed for ages! I think we can all conclude two reasons for how Woods survived -He was part of an early Lazurus project that rebuilt him from scratch, however the side effects made him age 50 years and be able to see into the future. Therefore the game actually takes place in the past from the perspective of Woods 2.0 looking into the future. -Or he is indestructible because he is with the press.

it's COD...none of the stories have been very interesting or thought out. The zombie stories are better....

If anybody want's to know how he survived: Fuck you! That's how. Probably will make more sense than the explaination that will be offered.

The answer comes from an old nursery rhyme (actually more of a horrible retelling of a classic) Frank woods, star of duty of call frank woods had a great fall, all the kings horses and all the kings men successfully put frank woods together again Magic horse surgery is of course the answer, how else would he survive the explosion? just be glad he didn't fall of a wall then there would be no protagonist for black ops 2.
