T.I. to the Rescue

A man who threatened to jump from a 22nd story window of a building in downtown Atlanta was persuaded not to commit suicide by none other than T.I. The famous rapper recorded a video message on a police officer's cell phone, which the cops then took to the suicidal man. Soon after he stepped back inside the window, and was taken to the hospital by police.

From CNN.com:
Harris talked to the man about how a person "can make it through anything," Atlanta Police spokesman James Polite said.

"T.I. just happened to be in the right place at the right time," Polite said.

Harris told Lemon that he went to the scene after he heard on the radio that a man was threatening to jump.
Interesting story; and, if it's true, it's heartwarming to hear. Skeptics have, though, pointed out that this incredible story occurred just 2 days before his probation hearing on Friday, where it will be determined if he will return to prison after being charged in L.A. with drug possession last month. T.I. denies that the rescue was a premeditated stunt.
