The Daily Mail writes that a mother threw her baby was thrown out of a ninth or 10th floor window to save her child from the fire.
A man on the ground ran forward to save the child, who hopefully escaped without serious smoke damage.
Samira Lamarani told the Daily Mail that she was there the moment the baby was dropped and watched as the child miraculously landed in the arms of bystander.
Samira said, “People were starting to appear at the windows, frantically banging and screaming. The windows were slightly ajar, a woman was gesturing that she was about to throw her baby and if somebody could catch her baby.”
Several people on the ground tried to calm those still trapped inside, telling them that help was on the way. But the people in the building continued to try various ways to get out.
A man apparently even tried to make a homemade parachute to ease his fall from the building.
Samira said it was impossible to count the number of people standing in their windows calling for help.
But hearing children’s cries was the worst, she said. “I could hear them screaming for their lives.”
