    Boy falls from 8th floor, gets wedged behind air conditioning unit!

    Dramatic rescue of boy trapped behind air-conditioning unit


    A toddler was rescued by his neighbours after he fell from a balcony and became wedged between a wall and the building’s air-conditioning unit.

    The terrifying incident happened in Beijing, China, on Wednesday as the anonymous three-year-old boy was reportedly left home alone by his parents.

    After plunging from the 8th floor balcony of the tall apartment complex, an air-conditioning unit fixed on the wall of the 7th floor building miraculously broke his fall.



    Nearby residents were alerted to the child’s screams and found him stuck behind the unit with his legs.

    According to reports, police were called but time was against them as the tiny boy started slipping through the gap.

    In the amazing photos, two brave residents known as Wang and Zhou are seen pairing up to free the boy just in time.


    One of the rescuers - a grocery shop worker – risks his life to climb over the balcony railings while being held on by another rescuer.

    After attempting to grab the boy, he was finally plucked to safety. In the last photo, he is held up by his saviours to celebrate the dramatic rescue.

    I had a little read of the Yahoo replies

    "I'm as appalled by some of the comments here as I am by what happened to the child, no you shouldnt leave a small child on their own, but sometimes people feel they have no choice, child care is expensive, it costs more than some women get paid over here, never mind in China and when both parents have to work to keep up with the bills, put food on the table and a roof over their heads, have no relatives near by and dont know their neighbours well enough to trust them with their kids they feel they have no choice. Before you criticise anyone, try finding out what all the facts are and put yourself in their place."

    Nice work from these guys,

    I remember reading about an American guy in Pattaya on here, last year, I think.
    And seeing the father over his toddlers body after a fall from a high rise.
    There was a chair on the balcony.
    An utterly horrific way to lose a life

    Don't have fucking kids if you can't afford to feed, clothe and care for them! This applies the world over.

    Makes me laugh when Bill Gates and all the other "philanthropists" are pouring money into vaccines to "save 5,000,000 lives a year" in poor countries.

    Great, now they get to die of starvation.

    Not in many third world countries "arry" their kids are viewed as their pension scheme.
