A six-year-old Chinese boy cheated death when he fell out of the window of a tall building only to catch his ears in a metal grate.
Ming Ming was left dangling eight floors above a city street with his head stuck between the protective bars.
The youngster screamed and bawled until he caught the attention of passers-by in Yinchang, Hubei Province.
As a crowd gathered, horrified neighbours could do nothing to help until emergency services arrived.
Firemen used a hydraulic pressurised expander to force open the bars and pull the terrified child to safety.
The accident is believed to have happened after his grandfather went out on an errand and left him sleeping in the family flat.
The boy woke up alone and is thought to have fallen out of the window while looking for his grandfather.
Fire service spokesman Wang Shen described the escape as miraculous.
"He could have fallen to the ground - or have been suffocated - at any minute," he said

Truly a miraculous survival. He's gonna have something to tell his kids, assuming if he's gonna have any.

Wow that's crazy I thought ears could only take up to 9 pounds of pressure before they are ripped off and that fall has to be more pounds than that

9 lb pressure might hurt in acomical way, but its not much at all.
