7-Year-Old Coney Island Girl Miraculously Survives 6-Story Fall

A 7-year-old girl survived a six-story drop from a Coney Island housing project building. News 12 is reporting that despite heavy injuries, the girl is expected to survive.

The FDNY was alerted around 7:45 p.m. this past Wednesday that a child had fallen outside the Gravesend Housing project (3194 Bay View Avenue). They found the girl in a patch of grass outside the building suffering from from injuries to her head and lungs. The FDNY claims that she he hit an air conditioning unit on the fifth floor during her fall.

Oddly, the girl was reported missing earlier in the day but was found and returned by police within 20 minutes of the report. It was later in the day when she fell out the window.

The girl was rushed to Lutheran Hospital where she is in stable condition and is expected to recover.

The matter is still under investigation.
