A woman in Russia reportedly survives a fall from the 11th floor of her apartment building.
Russia's Channel One television says Tuesday that the 21-year-old woman from the Ural Mountains region of Bashkortostan is being treated for concussion, bruises and a displaced spine.
Reuters reports that the unnamed woman fell a total of 114 feet. Doctors say the woman was able to survive because a blanket of snow broke the fall and her body was relaxed as she was not completely conscious.
Dr. Viktor Razin tells Channel One, "I have been working for 36 years and this is the first time we have had a patient who has been brought into the hospital after falling from the eleventh floor."
