Trainspotter Posted January 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2008 'Miracle' window washer speaking after 47-story fall The window-washer who miraculously survived a 47-story plunge from a Manhattan skyscraper is awake and talking to family - and doctors think he will make a full recovery. Alcides Moreno, 37, spoke his first words on Christmas Day, more than two weeks after he fell 47 stories from an upper East Side apartment building. "What did I do?," Moreno said in English when he was finally able to answer his wife Rosie's soothing words.

Harry Posted January 4, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 4, 2008 What helped him survive the fall was holding on to the scaffolding all the way down. Unfortunately, his brother fell away from it and die upon impact of the fence adjacent to the building. His brother was cut in half by the fence upon impact.
