It's a bird! It's a plane! It's . . . a parachute?
A Norwegian parachutist jumped from the 61st floor of New York's Chrysler Building Tuesday, three days after he jumped from the Empire State Building.The 32-year-old daredevil, who identified himself only by his first and middle names, Thor Alex, plunged from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building Saturday.
He wanted to jump from the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the city's tallest buildings, but security was too tight.
"You're always afraid," he told the New York Post. "It makes you sharper. There is no room for mistakes. One mistake and you die."
