One woman was trapped outside her flat on her balcony after her apartment caught fire in Moscow on Sunday. Shocked residents filmed the moment that the woman hanging on for dear life to escape the blaze that was consuming her flat lost her grip and plummeted down eight floors to the ground level. Emergency services arrived shortly afterward and came to her aid. The woman was rushed to hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the fall and smoke inhalation, but, remarkably, the woman survived the eight-story plunge. However, medical staff report that she has fallen into a coma. Overall nine people had to be evacuated and a child living in the building was also in need of medical assistance. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
