A woman who was filmed dangling 20-stories above the ground during a blaze at a New York City high-rise has recounted her heroic rescue by firefighters.
The three-alarm fire broke out around 10.30am on Saturday at a building on 429 East and 52nd Street in Manhattan. Firefighters were immediately dispatched to the scene and found themselves performing what has been described by FDNY chiefs as two “high-risk, last resort effort” rope rescues.
