A dramatic CCTV moment shows a young girl using her presence of mind to block a faulty lift door and save two toddlers from being trapped inside. The children were in the elevator while the older girl remained outside when the doors suddenly began to close. The lift’s safety sensors reportedly failed to detect the obstruction. Acting instantly, the girl wedged her hands and body between the doors, preventing them from sealing.
Her intervention bought crucial time for nearby residents and two women to rush over and pry the doors open. She then entered the lift and safely carried the toddlers out one at a time.
