Baby survives big fall
Print Edition
A 15-month-old American boy has survived an 11-story fall from a balcony at his parents’ apartment in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Musa Dayib has been nicknamed “the miracle baby” after escaping death despite slipping through the railing and making a perilous fall.
In addition to fractures to both arms, his backbone and his ribs, Dayib also suffered a concussion and is breathing through a ventilator. In critical but stable condition, he is expected to survive.
The boy was apparently saved by his soft landing spot, on a mulched area.
“If you and I fell that far, we would be dead,” Tina Slusher said from the pediatric intensive care unit at Hennepin County Medical Center.
“He’s a baby and... they tend to be more flexible and pliable.”
