St. Louis (MO) (AP) – Firefighters have rescued a parachutist who became stuck on the wires of a broadcast tower about 125 feet off of the ground and dangled for about two hours.

First responders were dispatched on Thursday night after the man’s parachute became stuck on the wires connected to the KETC-TV tower in south St. Louis County. Authorities haven’t said from where he jumped.
