Pitt Student Tries To Impress A Girl By Jumping From One Rooftop To Another - Gets Stuck Between Buildings For 5 Hours And Has To Be Drilled Out of the Wall

OAKLAND, Pennsylvania — Pittsburgh Police, Fire, and Public Works crews worked to free a man who was trapped between two buildings Tuesday morning in Oakland.

…

The things we do to impress women…

It all started around 2 a.m. on Forbes Avenue, reports CBS Pittsburgh

Police say the man met a woman at a nearby establishment and took her up to a building rooftop.

In an effort to impress her, police say the man attempted to jump from one rooftop to the next. He missed and instead ended up wedged in between the buildings.

“He is not quite on the ground. But, he is wedged between these two buildings pretty well,” Pittsburgh Public Safety Officer Sonya Toler said.

Listen am I going to make fun of the kid? Of course. He had to be drilled out of the fucking facade of a building. But can I fault him? Absolutely not. He met a chick and instantly thought what’s the best way to impress her. That’s something that’s hardwired into our DNA. Millions of years of evolution coursing through our veins, the undeniable urge to impress a female to mate with them. It’s our most base animalistic instinct and this Pitt bro just found that out first hand. If you don’t prove your worth to her right away she’ll find somebody else, that’s like Darwin 101, anybody who’s ever read a book knows that. So if you think about it in biological terms, the dude didn’t even really have a choice.

Unfortunately for him all that evolution didn’t quite help him out with his vertical and he got his ass stuck in the wall of a fucking Qdoba.

Hilarious.

I will say though, that if you were on the emergency rescue crew, an owner of the Qdoba, or anyone trying to use Forbes avenue, you probably found this less funny than I did.

Crews were at the scene for more than three hours working to free him. The man was finally rescued around 6 a.m.

Crews removed bricks and went through the wall at the Qdoba restaurant.

“We had people on the roof. One of the paramedics did rappel down three stories to render assistance and also provide us some landmarks as to where he was. Once the paramedic was there we reassessed where he was and cut the second hole,” Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich said.

Forbes Avenue closed between Oakland Avenue and Atwood Street during the rescue.

The man reportedly has an injured ankle. He has not been identified, but he is believed to be a Pitt student.

But the most important question.

Did it work?

Yes sir!
