KANCHANABURI: A very lucky young girl was saved from certain death when she fell from a hospital rooftop while playing and her shirt caught on lettering projecting from the outside wall. A video clip posted online on Monday by Facebook user Noom Muangnon showed hospital staff risking their own safety and pulling the girl back up onto the rooftop.
