He runs back inside then goes onto the 12th floor landing to see that the flames are shooting up the stairway. Panicking he runs back into the apartment then once again runs over to the balcony. 'Help me!, Help me!,' the man cries. While he was shouting down to the crowd, the local fire brigade arrive at the scene. They get to work trying to douse the fire, they also bring over a stretch canvass to catch the holiday maker. The crowd are getting agitated at the mans reluctance to jump so they start to shout him down and after several refusals he soon realises jumping is his only option now that the flames are in his apartment. He gets what valuables he has in a bag and waits. He jumps.The crowd cheer as the man falls, 11th,10th, 9th, 8th,7th ,6th ,5th, 4th ,3rd, 2nd then just as he reaches the canvass the the firemen pull it away as the crowd cry 'OLE'
