Can a conversation save someone's life?

In 1981, boxer Muhammad Ali was walking past a Skyscraper when he realized that a man was about to commit suicide.

There, then, he decided to go up to the apartment next door and talk to the man trying to convince him not to jump.

In the chat that lasted less than 10 minutes, Ali said:

"You're black, they've tried to kill you countless times and you didn't die. Don't take your life, a lot of white people would be happy to see you throw yourself from there"

The man gave up jumping and was later helped financially by the fighter.
