“Sorry, mister, the building door’s on the First Floor.”

Seriously, the daredevil was asking to be let in but surely he knew that the windows on most modern 67-story buildings don’t open due to safety concerns and effects on wind pressure on the building. If not, it’s too late now.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Daredevil probably had some very specific thoughts when window guy just stared blankly back at him.

Can't imagine what the guy on the 68th floor thought when he heard someone knocking on the glass.

The article states that it was a worker, which may mean housekeeping.

I know there is a segment of the membership here who think we shouldn't laugh at or express derision towards people who throw their lives away in such a frivolous, pointless manner. There seems to be an attitude that these people who fall off of buildings or mountains or "fly" their wingsuited carcass into a bridge at 150 miles per hour or some such shit, are "pushing the envelope" and thus are glorifying human existence, and therefore they should be honored and celebrated, and their deaths treated with solemnity and respect.

Sorry, but this guy was trying to get clicks on youtube and threw away decades of his life in pursuit of his ego and the almighty dollar err yen, peso, whatever. There is nothing noble about this. He destroyed himself and now will not experience countless days of life and all the potential those days hold. He was an idiot who "defied death" and death called his bluff and I see not one thing in all of this worthy of honor or veneration or solemnity.

In addition to his personal stupidity, it’s a miracle he didn’t kill or maim someone at ground level.

Yes, I feel for the innocents that get injured or killed in stupid acts like this and also for the unfortunate ones that have to witness these acts.

Wonder when someone will start a Go Fund me page in his honor?

How many windows on the 68th floor are going to actually open anyway? I'm guessing zero.

Went back to the article to see if there were any additions to it. I never noticed how careful this daredevil was. He was masked up standing on top of a train. Seems like he took no chances with his health.

He should have double masked.
