Thank goodness for cable TV as seven year old survives fall

BANGKOK: -- A seven year old who fell from a fourth floor balcony was saved after he hit a satellite dish.

The child - who has a foreign parent - was momentarily home alone Sunday as the nanny looking after him had gone downstairs to throw out some rubbish reported Daily News.

CCTV footage caught the child falling from the balcony but his fall was broken by the second floor dish before he ended up on the ground behind building 33 at the Ua Athorn housing estate, Project 1, in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi.

The boy was found screaming out in a state of shock with blood coming from his nose and mouth. He was taken to Bang Bua Thong hospital then transferred to Phra Nang Klao hospital for detailed tests.

Police are waiting to interview the nanny who is currently at the boy's bedside. Both parents, one of whom is not Thai, had left the boy in her care while they went abroad. They think that he woke up and went to the balcony and fell while the nanny was downstairs dumping rubbish.

Video clip of the incident. The child was reported to be half Thai, half Filipino, with the parents being abroad and having left the child with a nanny.
