Mall clerk saves falling boy


Quote:
This shocking video footage from Istanbul shows a 4-year-old boy who fell from the top of an escalator when he climbed up the wrong way and dangled precariously off the handles.The boy is seen holding onto the rail up the side of the escalator staircase as he’s lifted from the ground floor of a mall–and gets whisked away to the second story of the building. Quick shopkeeper Ali Apari, on the bottom level, ran underneath the boy and caught him as he dropped. No injuries occurred.

A Hero should be a guy telling the kid to not climb the sides of the escalator.

It's pretty fucked, there were people just standing around, who I'm sure saw the little boy climb.

The shopkeeper should've let the boy fall, stand over the boy's twitching body, shake his head and say, "it's the only way you'll learn, moron."

dumb parents honestly. He basically saved a life cuz that kid sure would've been dead falling on his head. I'd definitely give this guy a raise if I were the manager.

Ah kids... I remember when I was a kid, I was a little monkey. I climbed everything and got in a lot of trouble. I think I might've rode the escalator like that, but certainly not up to the top!
