A brave 89-year-old grandmother climbed from the 27th to the 21st floor on her building’s outer wall after accidentally locking herself in, shocking many people online.
The woman in Beijing was spotted stuck outside a residential building’s 26th floor on an afternoon on April 1.
A cleaner and a security guard heard her faint sounds from downstairs, looked up and saw her grabbing tightly to the rails that protect air conditioners on the outer wall.
They immediately called the police and shouted to her to stay put and wait to be rescued.
She continued climbing down when the firefighters were on their way.
The exhausted woman eventually stopped at 21st floor, which was about 50 metres above the ground.
The firefighters had to rescue her from inside the building as it was not safe for them to also get onto the rails.
They discovered that the 89-year-old lives alone on the 27th floor. She accidentally locked herself in the bedroom and left her mobile phone in the living room.
The anxious woman then made the extremely dangerous decision to climb down along the air conditioner units’ rails.
She said she had planned to climb all the way down to the first floor.

Hope I have that kind of fearlessness, strength and agility at 89!
Or maybe, just too crazy to know any better.

Locked in a bedroom ? Is this an old folks home ?
YOU LIVE ALONE ON 27th FLOOR???
YOU LOCK YOURSELF INTO YOUR BEDROOM???
If you go from the 27th down to the 21st, you are descending not climbing.
They discovered that the 89-year-old lives alone on the 27th floor. She accidentally locked herself in the bedroom and left her mobile phone in the living room.
The anxious woman then made the extremely dangerous decision to climb down along the air conditioner units’ rails. Had to get down.
looks l iek the second photo on the site of her the metal strap she is standign on has buckled- Hard to tell though-
If only reporters would recognize the obvious questions and try to supply the answers to them in stories.
What kind of weird facts account for someone being able to lock themselves into their bedroom.
Same here! Does she practice tai chi?
This must be pre tofu dreg construction.
Yep:
“Who, what, where, when, why, how” - they typically ignore the “why” so the reader is left to try to speculate.
This was in China - everything is upside down
Possibly an example of the shortcomings of the muscle memory developed in long term communist ruled societies.
Similar data tracking results on short term communist rule effects on the muscle memory may be noted soon in NYC Woke population.
Hope she brought her American Aspercreme.
She’s Really Getting Up There.

Right. There you go again looking for good journalism and editing. Those days are past.

Is anyone else irritated they used the word ‘climbed’ to describe a descent?
That alone will make me block the news source.
