In a shocking incident, a 3-year-old girl miraculously survived a fall from the 27th floor of her apartment building in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The tragic event occurred on Friday when the child fell from the balcony of her home in Gaur City while her mother was busy in the kitchen. Astonishingly, the girl got stuck on the 12th floor, preventing a fatal fall.
The girl was immediately rushed to Sarvodaya Hospital, where doctors reported she suffered multiple internal injuries, leaving her in critical condition. The entire incident was captured on surveillance cameras, and the footage has since gone viral on various social media platforms, sparking widespread concern.
The video has raised serious questions about the safety of high-rise apartments, particularly the lack of proper balcony security measures. Many individuals have taken to social media, calling for stricter regulations to ensure balcony safety in residential buildings.
A similar incident took place earlier this year in May in Chennai, where another toddler fell from the top floor of a residential building in Thirumullaivoyal, Avadi. Thanks to the quick thinking of the residents, a potentially tragic situation was averted. As soon as the child was spotted in danger, the residents quickly laid out a large cloth on the ground as a precautionary measure. Several individuals also formed a human pyramid to help rescue the girl. Their quick actions saved the child's life, and the dramatic rescue was also captured on camera, going viral on social media platform X.

Tragically, in a related incident, the mother of the rescued toddler in Chennai took her own life during a visit to her maternal home in Coimbatore. The woman had been facing constant backlash on social media for being negligent, which led to the fall of her child. According to local authorities, the woman had been suffering from severe emotional distress due to the online criticism. She had traveled to her maternal home in Coimbatore with her husband and two children but tragically took her own life after being unable to cope with the constant ridicule.
These incidents highlight not only the need for increased safety measures in residential buildings but also the dangerous consequences of public shaming, especially on social media. As both cases illustrate, while human error can lead to accidents, the aftermath of relentless criticism can be equally devastating, driving individuals to make irreversible decisions.
