Window washer Alciedes Moreno plummeted 47 stories while on a job in 2007. Sadly, his brother, who also fell, did not survive. Moreno did, albeit with very serious injuries, including collapsed lungs and blood clots in the brain. To give an idea of the rarity of his survival, half the people who fall from only four stories do not survive. His recovery has been remarkable, though; last January, he walked 3.1 miles for charity.
