There are no tall buildings in Kentucky

Posted Saturday, April 14, 2001

By Joe Williams

A 33-year-old Kentucky man, lured to Manhattan by its skyscrapers, parachuted from a downtown office building last night and landed on the sixth-floor rooftop of an adjacent building, police said.

Donald Mathis of Louisville was arrested at the scene, 310 Greenwich St., and charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing. He was not injured.

Police said he came to New York for the stunt because "there are no tall buildings in Kentucky."
