They had no other choice
Parents sometimes have to do terrifying things to ensure the safety of their children. When an apartment complex went up in flames, dozens of people tried desperately to get their children out of harm’s way. The stairwells and exits were blocked with fire, and the only option to escape was to go down the ladders put in place by the responding firemen.
The parents had to move quicker than that, and they dropped their children off of the balconies. Video footage has emerged showing the amazing moments from the harrowing night.
