Alcides Moreno, a window washer fell from 47 stories roughly 500 feet outside the Solow Residences in New York City on December 7th. He broke his arms, legs, back, and ribs and he has undergone 14 operations and required 24 pints of blood. But after coma for weeks, Moreno is awake, talking and is likely to walk again. The Doctor said that the highest fall they’ve seen someone survive in New York City was when a person under the influence of drugs survived a 19-story plunge. There’s only 50% of people survive a fall from three stories. Full story at NYDailyNews.
