The Man Who Fell Off A Skyscraper
Alcides Moreno is New York's miracle window cleaner
Alcides Moreno and his younger brother Edgar couldn't get a job in Ecuador so they moved to the United States and found work as window cleaners in New York. They were two ordinary guys doing an ordinary job, until in 2007 when they became international news because of a terrible accident. Both of them fell off a skyscraper. Alcides didn't give interviews at the time but he's now living in Arizona.
