Four year old survives miraculously after fall from four-storey

Ahmedabad, Jan 6 (IBNS) A four-year-old in Gujarat had a miraculous escape after she fell from the roof of a four-storey building and yet survived with minor injuries.

NDTV on Tuesday reported that the incident took place at Valsad on December 30 which was captured on the CCTV of the building's parking area.

Mahi was playing on the roof in the afternoon in presence of her grandparents, when she  fell over the side of a low wall and plunged four floors. The CCTV footage showed the child drop on the concrete floor.

But before that she dropped on a plastic sheet spread overhead a part of the parking area and that slowed her fall and saved the life.

"This is a miracle," Dr. MM Kureshi, who attended  to the child, was quoted as saying.

"A fall over 50 feet damages tissues and bones. Mahi just suffered a tiny fracture in her buttocks," Dr. Kureshi said.

. The child is in a local hospital, where she is under observation.

"I consider this a second birth for my daughter. She is my only child. It is a miracle,"  her father Hemant Desai was quoted as saying.
