MILWAUKEE – A window washer survived a six-story fall from a bank building with one thought in mind — when was his safety rope going to catch?

It never did.

“I kept falling,” 21-year-old Alex Clay said in a phone interview Tuesday night from Luther Hospital in Eau Claire. “It all happened so fast. I kept waiting. When’s it going to catch?

“There’s a little roof over the entryway. I bounced off of that and then hit the pavement.”
