12 Years Old Survive 35ft Fall

A 12-year-old girl has survived a 35ft fall down a lift shaft in a New York apartment building.
The New York Fire Department said the girl fell from the lobby of the building in Soho, Manhattan, plunging down three floors.
Fire department spokesman Khalid Baylor told The New York Times that rescue teams pried open the elevator doors in the sub-basement.
He said she was then rolled onto a backboard and lifted up the inside of the shaft in a basket.
Medical teams examined the girl at the scene before she was taken to hospital with multiple injuries.
