Girl Falls 14 Floors and Lives

Grace Bergere experienced a miracle. The 12-year-old girl fell down the chimney of her New York apartment building, plummeting 14 floors. She only sustained a hip injury and was conscious when firefighters found her. Grace was saved by a pile of soot at the bottom of the chimney. The soot cushioned her otherwise deadly fall.  

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.
