As people were perishing all around them and smoke was billowing out of their room, two young parents desperately trying to save their daughter came to a gut-wrenching decision: they threw her out the window, praying that she would be caught by a crowd below.
The 9-month-old fell four stories, and her parents’ decision paid off. Lucky little Onur fell safely into the arms of a policeman below. The drama unfolded as dozens of onlookers watched frantically. News cameras captured the baby in free-fall as she fell from the high-rise apartment building in Ludwigshafen, Southwestern Germany. The parents of the baby girl also survived, though the mother remained hospitalized two days after the incident.
