The 47-Story Fall
Falling at over 120 mph and living to tell the tale.
In 2007, window washer Alcides Moreno and his brother fell 47 stories from a New York City skyscraper when their scaffolding collapsed. His brother died on impact, but Alcides miraculously survived. He suffered catastrophic injuries to his brain, spine, chest, and abdomen, yet after numerous surgeries and extensive therapy, he learned to walk again.
