Woman breaks her arm catching a 2yo girl falling from a window 10 storys high!

THis brings to mind the old Popeye cartoons. When Sweet Pea got lose from Olive Oil and was up on a building structure up high. It was quite breath catching. Made me have bad dreams after my daughter was born. Thinking what if she woke up after I had gone to sleep and was roaming around the house. You just never know what was going on that lead that little child to be near the window. Thank goodness the woman was walking by when she was. Fate at its best!

maybe she catch that 2 year old using straight elbows, the elbows must be bent to catch the 9.8 meter per second square falling 2 year old.

That is a great story, and something that makes me hope I would be as brave as that woman. I really hope the child recovers, she really should since she seemed to have a guardian angel watching out for her. Thank you for sharing this inspirational story in a time when we only seem to hear about the bad!

Oh yeah... I heard this in the news (actually, just read it). So great of her. I mean, come on! I can't even catch a pen, how much more a child. Hope they both go well. It must have really hurt her because that would be great impact.

I want to praise the courage of this woman for all her effort in making sure that this 2 years old girl survive the fall.

hello dont_pick_your_nose, It was great to hear such news that woman was really great and showed her presence of mind her quick reaction made saved life of that girl. Its sad to hear that girl has severe internal injuries and presently is in hospital same is for that lady who broke her arm in the incident. I pray GOD for their speedy recovery.

Wow that is amazing. It's a good thing that woman was there and paying attention. It's amazing how often people will just pass by something and not notice it or not care enough to stop. Just the other day I was reading our local news and a 2 year old girl was found walking down a busy avenue in the turning lane. A lady saw her and parked her car sideways to protect her and said how so many cars were driving by not even paying attention. The little girl was half a mile from her house, so you know a bunch of other people had already driven by her and didn't bother to stop. It's a good thing there are still people out there that care.

hi dont pick your nose he he your user name always makes me laugh. I read that news too. Poor heroic women and poor little child. I hope they both recover. right where was the mom. we moms think we are careful but I will never forget this one morning I had put my toddler son down for a nap as I was so behind with housework.but I heard this awful gurglling sound coming from his room. I tore in there and the little fellow had been playing with a home made toy Monkey . the monkey came from my mother in law and had fringe on it. my son had got a large loop of this fringe caught aroud his throat and was frantic as he put his little hands inside the loop trying to get it off and he was turning blue. I dashed into the living room , got my big sewing scissors and got that noose off his neck. He turned pink and whitealmost immediately. then I took that monkey and I snipped open every loop on that darned thing. It had almost killed him.Also I snipped any loops on all the drapes so he could not hang himself accidentally. Also I got him out of that bed and stuck him in the kitchen where he soon had the pots and pans out to beat on them with a big spoon. I kept him where I could see what he was doing at all times. seconds is all it takes for a small child to get into bad bad trouble.moms do be careful.

Oh how sad to hear. The woman reacted out of quick instinct to save the girl. Quite heroic and although both of them are currently injured, I do hope they both recover well. It is sad to hear when children get injured and or if a heroin also gets hurt in the process of trying to save the child.

That the woman is more injured is in itself a miracle, not to mention the quick thinking involved. Most people would not have reacted that quickly or clear headedly. I do not think I would have, but i guess you do not know until you are in that position.
