Breathtaking footage... an amazing escape from a fire in a high-rise building in Manhattan
A video clip documented breathtaking footage of two teenage brothers escaping from the fire that trapped them in an apartment building in New York City.
The incident occurred Thursday in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in a 14-story building.
The footage shows a teenage girl, who was stuck in one of the windows of their fourth-floor home, while plumes of smoke were rising from the inside.
After a while her second brother appeared, and the teenager waited until she took her brother to the pipes of the building, where she was holding him, and the two managed to land safely on the ground.
Meanwhile, the house was on fire and its tongues sticking out of the window.
Neighbors quickly pitched a large sheet on the floor to receive the two brothers when they fell.
Although the rescuers arrived 4 minutes after a report they received about the accident, the teenagers continued the hidden landing process, and they arrived safely on the ground, and they were taken to the hospital and their condition is stable, according to "Sky News".
It later emerged that the 18-year-old girl and her 13-year-old brother were seriously injured and her boyfriend was killed in the accident.
