Grace and her cousin had climbed to the rooftop of the apartment building, where she proceeded to climb the ladder going up a large brick chimney. When she reached the top, Grace accidentally fell into the mouth of the chimney.
A 14-story plummet is not good news, but surviving it is. Grace is a super lucky kid.
(Originally reported by the BBC.)

Wow, that IS lucky! What are the chances of that? One in a billion?
My question is why she was playing around a 140 ft chimney. Dumb kid.
I guess you meant 'soot'. Oh shoot.. was that a typo? :P

Here's to you and your blog Kimberly. I'm in complete agreement with the statement on your blog header. Also love your "About me". Don't be too concerned with the "Gorgo" photo to the right, just a mom that wants her child back.
It is so refreshing to see some good news.

What a lucky girl!
Glad she is ok!
Yup... typo! She was saved by SOOT not by the shoot.
(I know that cuz I followed the link to the original story) :)
Congrats on your Blog Of Note!!!
Yes, she is very lucky. But I do wonder why she needed to climb so high.
wow that is amazing. i heard about a guy falling 47 floors and living.
wow! thats unbelievable! so nice to hear some good news for once :)
That's good she survived! I like this blog because it has good news. I have a blog also. But why did she need to go on top of a roof???

All Mary Poppins' chimney sweeps seemed to survive okay so why shouldn't she?!

The guy is my friend's dad and there's a video of it on the left there on that page.

i guess you could call that a GRACEful fall
oh man, no one came up with that before me?
Whoa where were her parents? She's so lucky nothing happened to her.
Wow. That is only by grace that she was saved from such a fall.
Big deal! If Santa can do it every year with that sort of weight.. why can't she?
That's wonderful! =) The goodside to this is, well, she'll never do THAT again.
Wow! Now she's got a great story to tell her kids when she grows up! hehe
This incident is a good example of how potent 'luck' is. You never know when it favors you and in nothing less than a miraculous way.

Gotta say, this is probably the best argument for not cleaning the chimney I've ever seen....
yup,it is a miracle...& why did she have to climb up that ladder??!!
I'm sure her parents are relieved that she's ok.
Crazy? Lucky? Strange situation? At least it had a good outcome.
