A base jumper near St Louis, Missouri, was left hanging off a communications tower for over two hours Thursday night, when his parachute became entangled in wires. The jumper had to call firefighters on his cell, who eventually managed to pass him a harness and knife to cut himself free, and lower himself to the ground.
He was about 150 feet up and by the time he was rescued, had attracted a large audience who shouted encouragement to the rescuers. There's no word if any charges - or bills - will be forthcoming.
