Toddler survives nine-storey rubbish chute plunge

A two-year-old survived a nine-story fall down a rubbish chute in an apartment building in western Romania, a doctor said.

Gabriel Narcis Ruja climbed to the top floor of the high-rise building in the town of Petrila, 300 kilometres (187 miles) north-west of Bucharest after he was left unsupervised, hospital doctor Nicolae Moica said.
