Great story. happy ending as well..
What a horrible experience that had to be for anyone in the atrium at the time. How do you get something like that out of your head?
Very appropriate! LOL
“Hyatt’s are known for those dramatic open atriums. I guess this guy has seen too many action movies.”
Our local media is corrupt as the day is long, so it wasn’t really surprising when certain suicides got much more or less than average coverage depending on the local media’s attitude towards the venue.
I always wondered what inspired the trend of having an open atrium in the center of your building.
Jason Bourne without the great landing......
Hmmm

In Prague, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) I once climbed from one balcony to an adjoining one to gain access to a room occupied by my friend. The balconies were abutting each other, no space in between. My friend was concerned that my actions may have been witnessed by police; however, there were no repercussions.
he tried to “FLY LIKE AN EAGLE.....Into the carpet...!
Damn, that is quite a drop.
Can’t even look at the frickin photos :S
In 1982 or so I was going to visit my son at Ft. Polk La. I flew into Houston where I stayed the night at A hotel that I don’t remember the name of. It had A large glass front elevator and as I was going up I heard metal sounding objects falling. That was the only time in my life that I felt helpless.
On the way down he was able to flash three other guests on balconies.
Assault with a friendly weapon ?
Time to outlaw balconies? Housekeepers? Security?
Bummer. Now no one can see that weenie again.
Penises ?
“How do you get something like that out of your head?”
Worse yet, Out of the carpeting.
