The moments of a young girl attempting suicide on the top floor of a building in China were reminiscent of film scenes. In the seconds when the fire brigade teams were trying to pull the girl up on the fine line between life and death, the operation was led to disaster as the young girl clung to her smartphone "to her death." Every second that the rescue teams made an effort to pull the girl to safety turned into a death trap as the young girl resisted giving up her phone.
The moments when a young girl, who attempted suicide by climbing to the roof of a building in China, posed difficulties for the firefighters trying to save her were captured on camera. The fact that the young girl did not let go of her phone for even a moment nearly turned the rescue operation into a disaster.
The incident that took place in Guizhou province of China made people exclaim, "This is too much." The young girl, who attempted suicide on a ledge on the top floor of a building, alarmed the firefighting teams. However, when the teams intervened, they faced unexpected resistance for an unforeseen reason.
THE PHONE GRIP CAUSED COLD SWEATS FOR THE RESCUE TEAMS
When the firefighters arrived at the scene and attempted to pull the young girl up, they encountered an unexpected reaction. While the young girl was hanging with one hand over the building's void, she continued to hold tightly onto her smartphone with the other hand. Although the firefighting teams tried to take the phone and put it in her pocket to hold her more securely, the girl's resistance put the operation in a deadlock.
"THEY WERE KILLING HER WHILE TRYING TO SAVE HER"
In the footage, as the firefighters tried to pull the girl up, her sudden movements to avoid giving up her phone caused her to lose her balance. In those moments when the teams were trying to grab the girl by her arms and legs to pull her up, the young girl's dangerously leaning over the void made the hearts of the onlookers race. Nearby citizens commented, "She was almost going to fall and die while they were trying to save her," anxiously watching the life-and-death struggle measured in seconds.
Fortunately, thanks to the persistent efforts and composure of the firefighters, the young girl managed to be pulled safely onto the roof, even though she did not let go of her phone.
