The guy that jumped and was caught by his bro was literally a "brother in arms."

Yeah, best brother. But, was he jumping because of his brother? Guess we will never know.

Really sad/touching story.
Let's hope this loving act will do something to change the mind-set of the younger brother...

Best Brother Ever!

Best brother ever indeed!! Hopefully the younger brother will appreciate it and get a positive view of life now.

4th floor is often not high enough to be fatal. Landing on anything other than the head would typically be survivable. A plea for help that hopefully he will now get.

Best brother ever. Nice to hear of a happy ending in jumper news for once. Hopefully his younger brother gets his problems sorted out and takes his second chance for granted.
