[Aju News DB]
A four-year-old girl fell from her nine-story apartment but miraculously survived with only a few scratches on her face.
The faintish incident took place in Suwon, the southern satellite city of Seoul, on Sunday, when the girl used a clothes dryer as a ladder to climb up to the balcony window of her apartment and fell to the ground while her parents were out to dispose of garbage bags.
"We thought something horrible has happened," a policeman told Yonhap News Agency, adding the girl had "miraculously" survived the fall. The police believe the ground, softened by torrential rains, may have absorbed the shock. After the fall, the girl was carried to a hospital, but doctors sent her back to her home because she just suffered minor scratches on her face.
