It’s Mandarin but in a Malaysian accent. Mandarin spoken by Malaysian Chinese sounds very different from that spoken by mainland Chinese :)

Damn, that ballsy guy that tried to pull him in. Thought we’d get a 2 for 1. But glad we didn’t .

Really? How can you tell? If this is true, that is very interesting and I would like to learn more. Maybe you could write out the first sentence or so, if you have a moment.

It would be ironic if his flip-flop came down and slapped him on the back of his head after he landed!

The botched rescue attempts @ a 4 story parking garage not a true 11 story building

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at the sounds at the beginning.

I think the people grabbing him affected his dismount and subsequent landing.

If the ground hadn't have been there he'd have been fine

changed title to 5 story.
The man was a Filipino in his 40's.

I would never try to grab someone that's halfway swinging outside a building as when he grabs you you're going down with him.
Always damn traffic blocking the view.

Watching rescue fails are always ridiculous, stupid, and amusing at the same time. Sometimes funny too
