Popular Post webfact Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 A heart-stopping moment was captured in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan when a woman decided to throw her child out of a window from the fifth floor of a residential building engulfed in flames. Bystanders, ready with mattresses, managed to catch the child and later the woman as well, when they both escaped from the relentless fire. Local media reported the incident last night. A video clip captured the terrifying scene of a 16-storey apartment house enveloped in black smoke gushing out of a flat on the fifth floor. It also showed the distressed woman clutching a youngster standing dangerously on the brink of a window. Amidst the tumult, people quickly spread out a mattress below the window in anticipation of the woman dropping the young child down. Amidst horrified screams, the swift rescue operation was successful as emergency services personnel stationed near the scene swiftly picked up the child in an ambulance. Not long after the first breath-stopping event, gasps erupted again when the woman climbed onto the window ledge herself. Once again, the mattress was quickly positioned to cushion her harsh descent, with a rather loud thud marking her fall. Miraculously, she survived the dangerous fall as well. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod. -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-08-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
