Baby Survives Dramatic Fall Unharmed

A baby boy of 18-months in Paris survived a dramatic fall from a six-story building in what can only be described as a miracle.

A baby boy and his baby sister were playing in their apartment when somehow the baby boy managed to clamber over the balcony falling six stories only to bounce off the awning of a cafe below and be caught by a doctor who saw the baby fall and was positioned to catch him.

What mysterious ways Allah works in brothers and sisters, it was a bank holiday Monday and the awning of the cafe (the hood like thing that covers the front of a building) was not even supposed to be open but the folding mechanism had jammed the night or so before and so the awning was left open.

Then the day that the baby was to fall there was a doctor, Philippe Bensignor, walking by with his wife and child, who spots the baby falling, the doctor sees, positions himself, baby bounces off the awning and safely into the doctors arms. Though unharmed the baby was taken to a hospital for a check up, just incase. Truly beautiful.

The phrase "Allah is the best of planners" rings so true here.

The baby has since been dubbed the Bouncing Baby.
