Dress Saves Old Woman From Balcony Plunge

An elderly woman’s life was saved after she fell from a balcony in Ukraine and her dress snagged on an awning. The 74-year-old Mariupol resident fell after she leaned too far over the balcony while yelling at street musicians, Mariupol and World News reports. The lucky snag left her in a frightening and embarrassing predicament, with her underwear exposed as she hung from the fabric of her up-turned dress… The woman was eventually pulled to safety by firefighters who cut her dress and lowered her through the window of an apartment on the floor below.” w/ photo + video
