He climbed the 10 story parking garage early afternoon when police were contacted that the young man might jump. Authorities cleared the parking garage and blocked Cone St as they try to talk him down from the roof. Police finally got him down from the roof at 4pm.

Earlier this week, we posted a video of a cat trying to jump from the roof of one vehicle through the (closed) window of another vehicle. Needless to say, it did not go well for the feline . But at least that animal actually made it to his destination. The following footage features a ferret (who is wearing a glow-in-the-dark piece of jewelry and apparently hanging out at a home rave) who really wants to leap from the table to the ironing board. He readies himself. He bends his legs a few times. And then he doesn’t come anywhere close to accomplish his goal. Ferret Jump FAIL! SPLAT! Don’t worry, though: we’ve learned the ferret escaped this mishap unharmed. So it’s okay to laugh – and also to wonder: Is this now the worst animal jump on record? Or does the cat who crashed down his car and into the garage still hold that title? At least both animals can take comfort in the fact that they aren’t alone. Plenty of pets often fail at life, as documented here: 24 Times Dogs Have Hilariously Failed at Life 1. Here I come, couch! Did someone move these pieces of furniture farther apart when I was asleep?!?
Here’s hoping the old saying about cats always landing on their feet is true … or the other adage about them having nine lives. This one may be down to eight. With two-thirds of the country covered in snow in this unusually chilly December, cats are up against it in the great outdoors. It’s pretty slippery out there! Still, we expect better than this epic fail. Watch what happens as one orange feline attempts to make the leap from the roof of a snow-covered car to the roof of the garage, only to lose its footing: “Ready, aim, jump, oh s–t!” While cats are known for their ninja-like agility and dexterity (they’ll choke-slam you if you kick snow in their faces ), ice knocks us all down a peg. In this case, tumbling down onto the hood of the car and into the abyss below, outside the camera’s range and never to be heard from again. We kid. He was probably fine. At least we hope so. In any case, analysis shows the gentle slope of the car’s roof was likely the poor fella’s undoing. Stuck in no man’s hand, he couldn’t get enough traction to really push off and reach the top of the garage, nor could he backtrack before it was too late. Old Man Winter 1, All Living Things 0.
Jessica Fashano, 27, plunged from the crest of swanky Trump Place, which rises 40 stories above Riverside Boulevard, and landed face down in a third-floor courtyard just after 8 a.m., police and witnesses said.
