Accidents are truly terrible but if that happens at the comfort of your own home then it is the most terrible thing ever. That happened to an elderly woman. 

An 82-year-old Chinese woman was seen dangling upside down from a clothes rack after accidentally falling off from the 19th floor of  her apartment in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province in  southern China. This accident took place while the woman was hanging her clothes to dry. 

After the accident occurred, the  woman's legs became entangled on a clothes rack of the 18th floor while her head, arms and torso were dangling over the 17th floor.

Soon after the accident took place, firefighters arrived at the location to help the elderly woman. 

The entire incident was taken on the video where the woman was seen dangling upside down and the neighbours down below were trying to help her get down. The firefighters held her legs on the 18th floor while another team attached a rope around her body on the 17th floor.

The rescuers were then able to pull the woman up to safety. Officials mentioned how the woman was left fatigued after the incident but she was not seriously injured. 

After seeing the work of the firefighters, people on the internet lauded these saviours who saved the elderly woman right on time. 

Wonderful job by the Firefighters 🚒 👏 👏👏👌👍💯✌

Great job 👍 done by firefighters.

Hats off to the saviours ❤️

  A few years ago, a similar instance occurred. However, at that time a full-fledged car was hanging from the building, not a person. In both cases, elderly women were involved. In Santa Monica, a driver accidentally hit the accelerator and found herself hanging on for dear life from the fourth floor of the parking lot. 

An elderly woman was driving the car. She admitted that instead of breaking, she hit the accelerator. As a result of which the car crashed through the barriers of the parking garage and got lodged over the edge.
