A two-year-old toddler had a miraculous escape in China after falling from the 21st floor of a tower block.
The little girl's dad is a builder who was working on the building in Jianyang city, Sichuan province, at the time.
Zhu Tianjun, 32, said his wife had brought their daughter, Zhu Xinping, to see him at work, reports the Tianfu Morning Post.
"I was working on a wall, while chatting with my wife, leaving my daughter playing by herself," he explained.
Suddenly his wife shouted that Xinping was nowhere to be seen. They searched every corner of the 21st floor but could not find her.
Then they looked out of the window and saw her lying motionless on a pile of soil.
They raced downstairs and rushed the little girl to hospital where they were amazed to find she had suffered nothing worse than a broken leg and minor internal injuries.
Xiang Bo, director of paediatric care at at Huaxi Hospital, said: "This was so lucky. It's unbelievable that this little girl suffered such minor injuries after falling 21 floors."
The couple believe their daughter's life was saved by the freshly dug pile of soil on which she landed and which cushioned her fall.
