How Awesome Was Muhammad Ali?

On Monday, January 19, 1981, a distraught man climbed out onto a balcony in Los Angeles. Depressed and very close to jumping, the young man was eventually talked down by none other than The Champ himself.. Muhammad Ali! It was several long hours but eventually Ali managed to do what the police felt they could not have.. He approached the 21-year-old and brought him back down.

This being Nothing Sacred, of course, I should point out the closing paragraph of the article (you read it, right?)

However, several hundred onlookers were less helpful.
"They were chanting in unison for the man to jump." He said. 
"We had to clear them off the street."


Ain't that something...
