China ‘miracle’ girl survives 25th-floor fall, lands on platform, suffers only bone fractures
Hospitals in their city refuse to treat her, so parents quickly transport her to a hospital in Beijing, about 200km away
A nine-year-old girl in northern China who miraculously survived a fall from her 25th-floor home has become a trending topic on mainland social media.
The incident occurred in Tangshan, Hebei province, on March 27, when she was alone in her room, according to the Beijing News.
Feeling hot, the girl, whose name has not been disclosed, decided to open the window. Unfortunately, the window’s structure was loose, causing her to fall and land on a platform 18 floors below, as she did not grab anything to support herself, according to her mother, who is surnamed Shen.
Shen was at work when the accident happened and received a call from her husband, who said their daughter was missing.
“My daughter was supposed to be doing homework in her room. But when her father went to call her for dinner, he could not find her,” Shen explained.
“He looked out the window three times but did not see anyone on the ground, except for a pair of slippers,” she added.
