Amazing! Korean Mom of Three Throws Her Children From 4th Floor Of A Burning Building to Save Them
Nothing compares to a Mother’s love!
This story about an amazing moment a terrified mother flung her three children from a burning building in South Korea to a group of US airmen waiting to receive them below, has gone viral.
Dailymail reports a cellphone footage showing a 30-year-old mum-of-three simply identified as Precious Enyioko trapped on the 4th storey in a burning building with her children, aged just 7 months, 3 and 4-years-old.
When US airmen spotted the commotion last Friday afternoon, from the nearby Osan Airbase, in Pyeongtaek county, South Korea, they quickly assembled a rescue team of locals and military on the ground below.
As the smoke became very thick, the desperate mum was finally persuaded to drop her baby, which she did. The baby was safely caught from the four stories in the rescue teams’ blanket below.
After the baby dropped, Enyioko’s other two children followed. They were thrown from the blazing building, before their mother flung herself from the window.
Fottunately for her, she too landed safely on the blanket being held by the US rescue teams and the locals.
The brave mum said: ”It was so difficult to drop my children. It was so dark in the room and the kids were coughing and crying. When I saw the people gathering with the blanket, I could see it was military members, I thanked my God.”
The brave woman’s husband, Prince Enyioko, from Nigeria said he was overwhelmed with gratitude to the airmen for saving the lives of his family.
”I really appreciate what happened that very day. I don’t know how I can explain my thanks. Without them I don’t know what I would do – I am so grateful for the wisdom of the military men and women.”
He added that he felt ‘helpless’ after returning home from work to find his family trapped by the blaze.
”I tried to help my family but I couldn’t. I was so surprised to see people gathering here to rescue my family especially the military. I felt so helpless.”
MSgt Daniel Raimondo said that him and his fellow airmen had been passing by the area when they spotted the thick black smoke. After one of his comrades rushed to get a blanket to catch the family on, he pleaded with the terrified woman to let go of her children.
”Please throw your baby, please throw your baby,’ he told her. ‘She did just that.”
He added that he’d struggled to persuade the woman to let go of her last child.
”She just wouldn’t let them go. I remember looking at her though all the turmoil and commotion. I just begged and pleaded with her, ‘Please throw the baby down.”
”And I remember her screaming at the baby ‘I love you, I love you, I love you. The next thing you know, she’s dropped the baby. And of course at the end, the mother had to come down.
”You could barely even see her at that point. The smoke and fire was horrendous. I was just shouting, ‘You have to jump, you have to jump.”
