Baby miraculously survives fall from London building fire that killed at least 12 people

A horrific fire broke out in the 24-story Grenfell Tower block in North Kensington, London, Wednesday, June 14.

It has been confirmed that at least 12 people have died and over 50 people are currently in hospital being treated following the terrifying incident. The fire reportedly started after 1 a.m on the fourth floor.

One eyewitness who was close by has said that she saw a woman inside the building attempt to save a baby by dropping it from a window "on the ninth or tenth floor" to members of the public waiting below.

The lady spoke about the moment she saw the woman inside the tower block drop the baby out of the window. She told reporters: "There were screeches and there was someone gesturing that there was a lady at the window. As I looked up, a lady was frantically gesturing and screaming that she was about to throw her baby.

"She wrapped it in a sheet and threw the young baby out the window. And a member of the public, a young guy ran forward and miraculously grabbed it at the right moment. And the shadow of what I’m assuming is the mother went backwards and that’s the last we saw."

The same woman said after the man caught the baby from the window "people were cheering and screaming at the same time."
