In an incident that caused widespread amazement, a two -year -old child escaped the inevitable death after he fell from the 15th floor of a residential builder in the White Ok region, Maryland, thanks to the bushes and vegetarian mantle, which absorbed the strength of the collision, and reduced the fall of the fall.
According to the Montgomery Provincial police, the accident occurred on Thursday, May 15, around two in the afternoon, when the child fell from a balcony with a protective glass instead of handrails, in a building located on “Oak Lev Drive”.
County police spokeswoman Shira Jouf said that the child’s mother was at home at the time of the accident, and that investigations are still ongoing to find out the exact circumstances of what happened, without any charges yet.
For his part, David Bazous, Assistant Head of Fire and Rescue Service in Montgomery, explained that the reason for the child’s survival is due to a group of factors, most notably his light weight, small size, and absorption of bushes surrounding the building for the fall force. He stressed that these factors “contributed directly to his miracle survival.”
The footage shows that the child fell between the dense shrubs located below the building, which led to a broken leg and some internal injuries, but they were not life -threatening. He was immediately transferred to a local hospital to receive medical care, and is expected to be fully recovered.
Fire and rescue teams quickly arrived at the site, describing the child’s condition as “painful” but stable. The authorities emphasized that such incidents are very rare, and that investigations will focus on examining the safety standards in the glass balcony.
Similar incident
The incident brought to mind a similar incident that China witnessed last March, when a 9 -year -old girl survived death after she fell from the 25th floor of a residential building in Tangishan, Khubi Province, and landed on a platform on the seventh floor. It is noteworthy that the girl did not lose consciousness despite the violent fall, and she was alone at home the moment the accident.
According to Chinese reports, the child opened the window because of her feeling very warm, and she did not know that the window frame was not proven, which led to his collapse and her fall with him.
