Watch as these Houston firefighters rescue a man dangling outside of these luxury apartments under construction. He jumps down to a lower floor awning, then seconds after he is rescued the building collapses. I've never seen anything like it!

Love my firemen!!!! :loveyou:

I watched it again and I know how it ends but my heart was still beating fast! Lol.

Thanks for posting that interview! I tried to link the video of the rescue directly but for some reason it didn't work.

He still looks shaken, poor guy.

I can't believe how quickly that building burned to the ground! $50 million luxury apartments, poof. You know it had to be hot for him to make that awkward leap from the 5th floor ledge to the the 4th.
