Girl Survives 7-Story Plunge


New York, NY (AHN) - An 8-year-old girl survived a seven-story fall from an apartment window with broken bones and organ damage, but will likely live to tell about it.

New York Police say Destiny Antonio fell out of her bedroom window while her family was sleeping at about 1 a.m. Friday morning. The window did have a guard on it. The family lives in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx.

Her family told the New York Post she woke up to an argument outside the building and leaned out of the window for a closer look. She climbed onto the edge and lost her balance.

She fell onto a grassy patch next to a metal grate.

The little girl suffered a broken leg, a broken hip and damage to her liver and intestines.
