HARNESS
John Bird was being hailed as a spiderman hero last night.
John, a fireman, leaped from the roof of an apartment block to save a lovesick woman who had jumped out of her fifth-floor window.
It was the kind of action that normally belongs to the pages of the cartoon character. John, wearing a harness and line, actually caught 25-year-old Jenny Goodman before she hit the ground.
Jenny had been leaning out of the window for several hours threatening to jump. "My lover has left me," she shouted. "I’m alone with a small baby, and I’ve lost my job."
As a priest and policeman talked to her through loudhailers from the street, John and his colleague quietly made their way up the stairs of the six-storey building to the roof.
John put on his harness and attached it to a pillar. Then he leaned over a low wall to listen to the woman’s threats.
After five hours of fruitless chatting with the priest and the police, the woman climbed out on to the window sill.
John was watching her every movement. Then she jumped to what would have been her death. The fireman jumped too.
Heavier than Jenny, he fell faster. By the time she was level with the 2nd Floor — and only soft, from the ground he grabbed her. John said, "We were swinging in space. Luckily she was so surprised that she did not try to pull herself from grasp."
As the police raced to the roof, the other fireman hauled them up to safety.
Later Jenny said, "I must have been out of my mind."
How long did the priest and policeman talk to Jenny?
