Harrowing footage captures the moment a Berlin woman narrowly cheats death while leaping from her 11th-floor window onto a truck’s aerial platform as flames consumed the high-rise.
The woman is seen dangling Friday as smoke and flames billow out of the window next to her, with a firefighter urging her to jump down onto the rescue truck two floors below, according to the US Sun.
Smoke and flames crept closer to her as she took the leap of faith, plummeting toward the firefighter, whose arms were outstretched.
She landed safely in the rescue bucket before being lowered to the ground.
Dramatischer Rettungseinsatz bei einem Hochhausbrand am heutigen Morgen in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Da die Drehleiter nur bis zum 9. Stock reichte, musste diese Frau vom 11. Stock aus in den etwa 1-2 m² großen Drehleiterkorb springen. Insgesamt wurden 13 Personen leicht verletzt. pic.twitter.com/BCdpRYPBM6
