In the month of the fire's second anniversary, footage has been making the rounds of the internet from March, 2014, when a construction worker was rescued from a giant blaze in Houston, Texas, in what is one of the closest calls I've ever seen.
The amateur footage, filmed by an aghast Karen Jones in a building across the street, shows a man trapped on a top-floor balcony of what looks to be the work-in-progress of a soon-to-be apartment complex.

Thankfully, a fire crew spotted the lone man on the semi-built balcony and came to his aid with a crane just as it was being thoroughly destroyed by fire.
The man seemed incredibly calm under the circumstances, until the fire reached the interior room just inside and it appears the heat became too intense. It's incredible that the incomplete balcony he jumped onto held. He sure was lucky.
No injuries were reported as a result of the blaze, but you sure think you're going to see something else when watching, don't you!
Yikes.
