A young woman survived after falling from the tenth floor onto a mound of snow
A 16-year-old girl from Moscow survived a fall from the tenth floor, landing on a mound of snow, according to local reports.
A remarkable incident occurred in southeastern Moscow where a 16-year-old girl fell from the tenth floor of a building and miraculously survived the fall. Reports indicate that she landed on a mound of snow, which had built up to over 50 centimeters due to recent heavy snowfall in the city. This protective layer of snow likely absorbed the impact of her fall, allowing her to stand up shortly afterward without any assistance, despite being in a state of shock.
The young girl, who was reportedly wearing a t-shirt at the time of her fall, managed to walk to a nearby beauty salon to seek help. This incident unfolded during a severe cold wave in Moscow, where temperatures have dropped to 20 degrees below zero. The extreme weather conditions have followed a series of heavy snowfalls that blanketed the city, a metropolis with over 13 million residents, in a thick layer of snow.
Local media outlets, including Moskovski Komsomolets, covered the incident, highlighting both the luck of the young girl in surviving such a fall and the dangers posed by the frigid temperatures and snowy conditions currently gripping Moscow. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of urban environments and the importance of safety precautions during adverse weather conditions.
