This dude is extremely lucky to be alive

W save

(March 26, 2014) Houston, Texas - Construction worker rescued from burning building in heart-stopping video. Trapped on a balcony by smoke and flames, construction supervisor Curtis Reissig knew he had to take action to stay ahead of the blaze that was quickly consuming the Houston apartment complex he had helped build. ‘The flames were getting closer and hotter. I knew I had to do something. So I swung down to the lower floor,’ he said. Reissig's daring leap bought him enough time to let a fire truck ladder get close enough for him to then jump onto it. Fire Capt. Brad Hawthorne, who was perched near the end of the ladder, helped bring Reissig to safety. The dramatic escape was all captured on video. Reissig, 56, suffered minor burns to his face and hand in the fire, which destroyed the planned $50 million luxury apartment complex. There were no other reported injuries. The cause of the fire was still unknown, but witnesses said it might have been caused by workers who were welding on the roof. Reissig, who works for JLB Partners, had been eating lunch at a trailer on the construction site around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday when someone reported a fire. He grabbed an extinguisher and went up to the roof, where he put out some of the flames. But strong winds quickly spread the fire across the roof, so Reissig made his way to the fifth floor. ‘At that point I saw a lot of smoke. ... It started burning my eyes, my throat. I couldn't breathe,’ he said. Reissig found a window but couldn't open it. He said he thought he was going to die. But then he saw a door to one of the building's units and went onto its balcony.
