A man who tried to jump to his death from a midtown building Sunday survived the plunge because he landed in a pile of garbage, officials said.
Police believe the man jumped from the ninth floor of a building on W. 45th St. near Eighth Ave. a few minutes before noon. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition.
"He landed on a garbage pile," one official said. "That's the only reason he's alive."
Trash collection in the city was suspended because of the Dec. 26 snowstorm.
The man, who is in his 30s, was not identified.
