Moments when two children narrowly escaped death were captured on camera in the city of Meerut, located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The incident, which occurred on Friday in the Sadar Bazaar area, quickly spread on social media and caused a significant stir.
In the security camera footage, the flow of daily life is seen in a narrow street. First, a scooter passes by, followed by a bicycling child and a walking woman. Shortly after, two boys aged around 6-7 start walking down the same path.
Just seconds after the children pass right in front of the building, the exterior of the structure suddenly collapses. The children miraculously escape being trapped under the debris.
The building where the incident occurred is estimated to be between 100 to 150 years old and is in very poor condition. The collapse of the building's facade has raised serious concerns about the safety of old structures in the area.
This incident highlighted the dangers posed by old and neglected buildings in India. Local authorities emphasized the need for urgent measures to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. There were calls for regular inspections and necessary repairs of old structures, especially those located in historic areas.
While the children's escape without injury is considered a great stroke of luck, security measures in the area have been increased following the incident. Authorities have reportedly begun efforts to identify other buildings that carry similar risks.
