Woman Dangling From Power Lines Saved By Civilians And A Blanket

In an unreal rescue story, a woman in her 40s was saved from a fatal fall thanks to the quick thinking of her neighbors.

According to reports on May 3, KST, a woman in Cheongju City was found dangling from overhead wires and was saved after she fell onto a blanket held by neighbors. The incident occurred on May 1, KST, in a multiplex housing complex in Heungdeok-gu in Cheongju. The woman was later identified as a 46-year-old from Uzbekistan.

The incident was reported to the police at around 11:24 am, upon which first responders arrived at the scene. The woman was hanging about 6 meters above the ground, tangled in the wires. While the firefighters were still installing the air mattress, she fell. Fortunately, she landed on a blanket stretched by local residents and was left unharmed.

While the incident has made headlines, it is still unclear how the woman ended up in such an absurd situation. The police have launched a probe, suspecting that she might have jumped from a nearby building.
