Man Rescues Self After Slipping On Cathedral Roof
Willis Carter of the Electric Light company was repairing a failed night lamp on a cathedral tower when a gust dislodged his cap and sent him sliding headfirst down a slippery slate roof. He clung with pliers, dragged himself upward, and in a harrowing ascent clawed back to the ridge and made it to the belfry.
