It took him 2.5 hours to get 40% of the way to the top.Darkness was only a couple of hours away.Thunderstorms,it was said,were moving in from Jersey.And he was surely tired and sore even if he was in great shape.As we learned from 9/11 a body make a hell of a noise...and makes a hell of a mess...when it falls 100,or even 30,stories.
They didn't get there in time? Darn.
