Caught On Tape: Man Clings To 36th-Floor Ledge

HONG KONG -- A man crawled out onto a narrow window ledge to escape a fire in his 36th-floor apartment in Hong Kong on Tuesday, and the whole thing was caught on tape.

The crowd below gasped as the man, who was trying to escape smoke and flames in the apartment, nearly lost his footing.

As the fre grew, the man tried to move to the next ledge. After a number of attempts, he made it.

Not long after that, a Hong Kong firefighter rappelled down the building and saved the man.
