Pakistani window cleaner survives fall
mar102.jpgA Pakistani man cleaning the windows of a high-rise hotel in Jeddah miraculously survived a fall from the ninth floor when one of the cables securing the cage in which he and a colleague were suspended broke, toppling him out and sending him plunging to the ground below.

Astonished witnesses who saw the man fall 37 metres to the ground and stand up again immediately called rescue teams and watched as the second window cleaner was rescued from the cage in which he remained dangling precariously by a single cable.
