you know, sometimes it's really nice to hang your clothes out on the line when you take them out of the washer. they're all wet, want to dry them off. you can't be wearing the clothes

when you could that. appears maybe that's what this woman thought in china. this is a clothes hanger from a window in an apartment building and apparently this woman reports saying she had been doing a bit of drinking. managed to make her way out to the clothes hanger. this is where you're supposed to drape your clothes and dry them off. sitting on one bar as you can see and hanging on to the two other bars there. well that one bar looks like it's clearly bent under her weight. >> that's no good. >> hopefully going to hold her. >> guess what? firefighters had to enter and break into the apartment unit to try to get her from the inside. and it they got there just in the nick of time literally. watch this. as these rescuers are trying to grasp this woman, they're strapping a safety belt around her. that's the first thing they do. as they go in to do that watch this. >> hurry up. >> oh! wow. they haven't even latched. >> no. >> the safety belt. >> just as they get that belt

around her one of the bars breaks. look lik the whole structure comesdown. she could have fallen for sure. i can see the rescuers able to just then kind of grab her and pull her inside. she got so lucky. >> doesn't appear any injuries here. you can see them bringing the woman inside. she's obviously shakep up. wouldn't answer questions. that's understandable when you almost fell from your apartment window. we've seen lots of pranksters on the show take off their hat and put on the helping hat by turning their pranks into doing something nice for people, particularly the homeless. dennis roady did it and the video he originally posted in december went viral. >> i just don't like it. >> well okay, only seven days, mom. >> no seven days. two hours. >> he went armed with a few supplies and had his dad drop him off in cincinnati. he showed us a lot of what he saw and it wasn't pretty.

>> it's not getting them off the streets. it's getting them off the drugs. >> but the one thing he wanted to do while he was out there was inspire someone, help someone, get somebody into a better place. >> i didn't realize how difficult and challenging my endeavor would be. the outcome, that was more unexpected. >> one of the interesting things he did was run into somebody and this is where we meet aaron. >> addiction is like having sex with a gorilla. you're not done until it says you're done. >> and aaron and dennis form a friendship. and at the end of the video dennis gives aaron enough money to get on the bus to visit his brother. >> i don't think a ton of chances come along that often. >> is dennis' message trying to shed light on drug addiction and homeless. >> his mess am was to go out and live as a homeless person and make somebody's life better. the one way he can help is help aaron. aaron is unlike the other ones. he realizes he has a problem and wants to change. >> i think it's too late for me, man. >> too late? it's never too late, dude.

>> getting older, man. >> it's never too late. just a new start. >> he was on a radio station getting interviewed and one of the guys at the radio station says hey, i know somebody in florida. if you can get him to florida we can get into him a program. this is aaron today. >> looking sharp, man. healthy. how do you feel? >> fat like a little pig. i wake up tail wagging every day. >> this was all about aaron. all about aaron's road to recovery. well done, dennis. >> he has a job. he's been sober for over a month and he's happy. >> so this is my favorite time of night. sunset. i'm in palm beach, florida. love it. >> actually saw right there, the look and spring in this guy's step and twing until his eye. >> looks 100 times better. >> wonderful story. >> this is as good as it gets i'm okay with it. >> oh. >> when fixed gear freestyle becomes a video game. >> created a world that looks
