Life and Death Fall

Boston Herald American

This picture is the final photo of a series of a near-miss ladder rescue by a Boston, Massachuts firefighter. The woman and child were hurled to the ground when the fire escape on which they were standing collapsed while they were awaiting rescue over a fire truck ladder. The woman was killed from the fall of five stories, but the child lived after she landed on the woman.
