And this story reminded me of the some of the 9/11 jumpers, who tried to create a makeshift parachutes with their shirts when jumping. Profoundly sad, tragic image.

That is exactly what I thought of...Mary Poppins.
That is terribly sad.
Just like in Mary poppins...A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down "song"
I tried that when i was little as well...and It didn't help either. Too bad she didn't try that instead of the umbrella. So sad. Shame on that DAD. He needs to be held accountable for that poor baby being alone.

Why am I not surprised that this happened in China? I wonder if that umbrella slowed her down, just enough, to save her life.

They should throw the fucking dad out the window with out an umbrella, and make sure he landed on the concrete.

Stupid parents, leaving a 4 year old girl alone with an open window

Yeah this is kind of like the time I saw this scene from a movie with an apple pie, but I didn't wait for it to cool down. 2nd and 3rd degree burns make me wish I jumped out of a 6 story building

The story behind the jump makes it real sad. But I would think she would heal real well since it happened at such a young age... (hopefully)

Thought Mary Poppins was real?
