Firemen save 30th-floor resident with human ladder
A woman was rescued when a fire broke out on the 30th floor of a residential building in Shanghai around 1 am last Wednesday.
Wearing just a bed gown, the woman climbed out of her window and waited on a narrow windowsill clinging to a scorching window frame to prevent herself from plunging 80 m to her death.
