Window Washer Plunges 10 Stories Onto Car

One witness thought she came upon a lifeless body during her routine walk in San Francisco -- but firefighters say the man who was lying in the middle of the street survived a fall as high as 10 stories. The man, whose name was not released, is a window washer who fell from a building, the San Francisco Fire Department said. He fell between eight and 10 stories, landed on a moving car and bounced into the middle of the street, fire officials said. Witnesses said he appeared to be dangling from a rope before he fell, according to Albie Esparza, spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department.
