During the critical moments, three people managed to reach out from the window and pull the woman inside. The rescue moment caused the people on the street to breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate with applause. Local media reported that the woman was saved thanks to the quick intervention of her neighbors. However, it is still unclear whether the incident is being investigated by the police. This incident once again brought to light the risks associated with cleaning jobs in high-rise buildings. Occupational safety experts emphasize the vital importance of proper training and equipment in such dangerous jobs. Employers and employees are urged to take necessary precautions to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
