NEW YORK (AP) -- A 12-year-old girl just wanted to show her cousin the view from her family's Manhattan rooftop. Instead, she fell into a chimney and
plummeted down the flue for 14 stories, emerging nearly unscathed to tell her story after landing in a pile of furnace soot.
Grace Bergere, a young rock drummer, was recovering at a hospital on Saturday with an injured hip. A 2-foot-deep pile of ash and dust probably saved
her life by cushioning her fall when she crashed into a basement furnace, fire officials said.
Holy cow!!!!
That is truly amazing! I never ceases to amaze me how kids can survive this such as this.
I hope that she makes a full recovery and I wish her the best.
