Back in 1979, Sumner met an accident, and pretty much all the fans and people who knew Sumner would easily recall this moment where he escaped the death itself.
The media mogul survived a deadly fire at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel by gripping a window ledge with his right hand still inside the room. Redstone suffered third-degree burn at the time, but when he recovered, he couldn't stop but joke about the incident.
When he recovered and was already playing tennis, the media mogul sat for an interview, where he humorously added, "I intend to live forever!"
