An 18-month-old girl in Paris, France, appeared unhurt after falling seven stories and bouncing off an awning into a man's arms, witnesses told Le Parisien newspaper.
Witnesses said the child and a sibling had been left alone briefly Monday in their seventh-floor apartment in the city's 20th arrondissement, east of the central city. The girl fell out of a window, but a boy on the street saw her falling and alerted his father, who caught the baby after she bounced off the awning of a tobacco shop and cafe on the building's ground floor, the paper reported.
The man with the quick reflexes and good hands, a doctor, looked over the girl and didn't find any injuries, but handed her off to an ambulance crew to be safe, according to Le Parisien.

read the book "when bad things happen to good people". puts this is perspective.
That baby got delivered twice!
Very happy to hear that this child was saved. But before people start saying that he was saved by the Creator of the Universe, give a thought to another child. A little boy was thrown out a window here, and didn't make it. Did the Creator of the Universe reject him? Was it off-duty? Sometimes things go right, and sometimes they go wrong, its not a sign that you are preferred or rejected by some deity.
there always should be an adult servising the kid at all time whatever what the adult is doing that person should been introuble for that, and all there should be a law for that
All I can say is, fantastic catch, Doc! The World Series has nothing on you. That is one lucky kid.
Sounds like something out of a movie...
Glad both children are unhurt.
if you knew you'd survive, that almost sounds fun
Why charge anybody, this just happened to Eric Clasptons son when a window was left open, stuff happens, yeah lets compound the parents misery by putting them in jail.
And it was the work of god, he left the window open, made sure the awning broke her fall, and had an alert citizen catch her. Good work god. But we can only assume God didn't like cream so he let Claptons baby splatter.
God definitely had His hands on that child and placed that man (a doctor) there! It is a miracle.
I think it's a miracle that the baby survived! Accidents do happen, but you should watch your kids! I'm just glad the baby is ok. There has to be angels who looked down on that baby! God bless
Truly a miracle. It's sad that there are so many of you who feel the need to bash those of us with faith. What a lonely world you must live in.
That's ok God...we know how modest you are.
Good luck with the GOP spawn of Satan.
After two years of whining, complaining, dividing and just a constant "NO" to everything.
They sure better do something right or they can kiss 2012 goodbye.
The heat is on....
I'd keep an eye on that sibling....
I love you.... this made me laugh my a$$ off and I really needed that today. Praise Jebus
