ATLANTA -- Rescuers pulled a driver from inside a car as it dangled Wednesday night seven stories above the streets of Buckhead.
Thin cables held the car off the side of a parking deck after it smashed through the fencing at the edge of the facility at the Realm condominiums in the 3300 block of Peachtree Road.
Firefighters reached the car by rapelling down from the deck's top floor, one story above the dangling vehicle.
Held in place upside down, a rescuer reached into an open window of the car and slipped a safety harness on the driver.
Then they pulled him to safety.
"The firefighters did a great job I'll have to give them that. That's a very unusual rescue."
said Lt. Bob England of the Atlanta Police Department.
