If there’s one situation I never hope to find myself in, it’s being trapped in my fifth floor apartment with no way out after it’s suddenly caught on fire. It’s a lose-lose situation.

Many people would not be able to do what the hero in the video below managed to in order to save his family. Once the fire had started and he was trapped in his apartment, there was only one way out, and that was to throw his kids and wife off the balcony into the growing crowd below. Check out the crazy footage:

Intense stuff. It’s a complete bummer that the only one of them that seemed to get hurt from jumping out of the window was the guy, but I suppose it’s better than being dead, so there’s at least that. Wishing him a speedy recovery though. Hope he has somewhere to live when he moves out of his apartment as well.

For more fire, check out this guy looking into the fuel tank of his car with a lighter. Talk about dumb.
