Mother forced to drop children from fourth-story window of burning building

In what has to be everyone’s worst nightmare, a mother in Pyeongtaek, South Korea was forced to drop her children, one by one, from the fourth story of a burning apartment block, before jumping herself.

Dramatic footage caught by a passer-by on camera captures the moment the 30-year-old woman dangles the child out the window before letting them fall to rescuers waiting with outstretched blankets.

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Daniel Raimondo, who is stationed at nearby Osan Air Base, told CNN that he was walking to dinner Saturday night when he noticed the clouds of smoke.
