The incredible escape was caught on video by a passerby.

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.
