A dramatic rescue in Nanjing, China, captured the moment an elderly man fell from the 15th floor of an apartment building and was left hanging on a clothes drying rack on the 7th floor.
On January 1, 2026, community members and the building’s security team sprang into action, using a fire hose as a makeshift safety line to stabilize and lower him. Residents worked together, carefully pulling him back to safety as onlookers watched anxiously.
The elderly man was eventually secured and brought safely inside, leaving the community visibly relieved. The footage highlights both the danger of the situation and the quick-thinking heroism of those involved.
