Bogota - A Colombian paraglider was rescued alive and well Monday, after hanging from high-voltage cables for 11 hours in the northwestern province of Antioquia.
Alberto Ocampo jumped in a mountainous area in the town of Bello, near Medellin, but his paraglider was pushed by the wind and got caught in a 110,000 volt wire.
The flow of electricity was cut off on Sunday afternoon, to allow a rescue operation that ended successfully in the early hours of Monday.
