That's so terrible. I am from africa, and once i realized how houses are built in america i was shocked how people even pay 7 figure and more for these houses so fragile. You can punch the wall and your hands go through the wall, Cheaply made but blurred by luxury finish to make them look so beautiful. And they get so ugly when they age. Go see same houses in africa how they look. You will break your hand trying to punch through it. When you are downstair you don't hear the footsteps of people at upper floor. That's why almost 8 years in america i never really felt like buying this houses. If it was solid there is no way someone would fall through ceiling and hurt themselves. I can't pay so much money for this cheaply made stuff.
Ikr? I'm Mexican and the houses are made of concrete, walls, ceilings, everything. I don't understand why houses are made that way in the United States.
@@elizabethl3235 I am telling you, i don't understand either. It's crazy! Lot of people don't know mexico and other latin countries have very simular culture as africa. We have a lot in common.
You’ll break your hand trying to punch through walls built before the 80’s in America too. I listen to the old folks. They told me don’t buy these new houses. I’m going to buy one built in the 40’s. I had a great experience living in one before…beautiful hardwood floors. The window frames made of pure solid wood, not plastic, and a solid brick house, not brick veneers.
I cannot stop watching. I am so grateful that everyone is ok. I cannot imagine how she is ok. Mom, you and the other person going down the stairs ahead of your daughter's fall narrowly escaped injury as well. Thank God for protection from dangers seen and unseen.
That wasn't just falling through a ceiling. It was crashing down two stories over a staircase and barely missing both the second floor banister and her sibling on the stairs. It's a miracle she's ok. God bless this family. Everyone is commenting how she hit the railing. Sure, but she came down directly over the banister head first. Her leg slammed against the bar after she was on her way down. She didn't hit the banister head first or land on it with her back. So she missed landing on the banister.
A miracle would be something that suspends natural law. This is just some bad luck (falling through the ceiling) and some good luck (missing bannister and sibling). No clue why you think a deity is involved.
How are they building these homes? Are they building these homes to fast and cutting corners? They the contractors gotta make these homes sturdy and with a solid foundation!
Don't get me started on american byulding standards. I can't close my bedroom door too hard without my porch one open. The walls are like paper. It just pisses me off
@@remyd8767 yeah we dont. I'd like houses that are built with some craftsmanship and pride in what they are doing because they are building someone's HOME though, tf
As a plumber I’ve spent a lot time in attics. You must only step on the 2x6 joist . The ceiling drywall below you can’t bare any weight at all. One wrong step and going thru the ceiling below. Don’t let children in there either. Unless they’re older, mature and understand the structure of homes.
If that little one, walking so carefully down the stairs, had been a few seconds slower, it could've been so bad. The outcome is a miracle! I'm so glad everyone is okay!!
@@MixedMandy88damn, mom is smaller than the hand rails and has to grab above her head? It’s like it’s a little one and not an adult. I guess your observation is wrong. Also, it doesn’t matter to the near miss we witnessed
@@lindahawkins5060 Apparently after this was made it was discovered that the mother figure had a wasp hive in her bedroom ceiling and sent the 12 year old girl into the attic to spray the hive with insect spray, unfortunately she knocked against the hive and received multiple stings causing her to fall backwards onto the thin ceiling which gave way and the little girl fell down three levels onto a staircase. She had been instructed by the mother to remove a nest which contained approximately 10,000 active wasps!

When you're in an attic, walk on the joists (wooden slats). Don't walk in between them... unless you want to fall through the drywall. Remember when Chevy Chase did this in "Christmas Vacation?" LOL
Looks like she was in the attic space. As a survivor of TBI, having done the same thing and landed on my head on the cement floor below - don't step on the drywall between joists!! They cannot bear weight at all.
I'm sorry for your suffering. In college, I tutored I young man that had TBI from war. He was so intelligent and such a sweet person. I wish you all the best, and I am sending you many blessings. ❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏
Did this and didn't fall through but found out wasps were living in the attic walls. I was on the phone and dropped my phone to run and my dumb ahh had to ofc go back for it in order to tell the person on the phone I lived😂. I've never gone back up there since. I don't even remember wat clothes were up there or what my suit cases used to b before I replaced them rather than going back up there😂😂😂
This is true, but it is not only true for wallboard ceilings; it is also true for older homes that have plaster lathe ceilings. Don't step between joists period.
The mom instincts that kicked in instantly when that child hit that banister… The mother instantly recognized her child and reached for her, and when she could not capture her, she flew down the stairs to the aid of her child! Much respect to the mom but much praise and appreciation to The Most High that that child is OK!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
When my father almost fell of the roof and my instincts kicked out to try to catch him, what would you call that? Son's instincts? Nan, it just good instincts whatever if you are a parent or not.
9/10 it's because people want to pay to look at a beautiful house but not pay for quality materials which is absolutely bonkers to me... It's called vanity over quality
@@ashleysmith7324im confused as to why people are blaming the person who fell saying she shouldn’t have been walking on the drywall in the attic. Why did the contractors leave the attic without proper flooring is my question.. like who’s supposed to know that they can’t walk in certain areas, Especially a child/teenager… idk how these things work tho.
@@JesseWright68 i’ve always found it funny how people who arent religious always have to make it known that they arent religious. Then proceed to diminish the beliefs of others. The fact that alot of u guys feel the need to comment on anything u deem to be about religion is a sign in itself. I wish u many blessings beloved.
Why was she in the attic? That's a dangerous place for children. I fell through a ceiling at work. All the ceiling joist had termite damage and couldn't be seen due to the insulation. Broke my femur, did damage to L7 disc. Glad baby girl wasn't seriously injured!
@cyavelle I wish, workers comp for 2 years and a settlement for 38 dollars for the rest of my life. I said forget that and took the lump sump about 50k. They paid all medical bills, therapy and my salary while I was out. That's was it

Actually its a miracle she fell exactly how she did, intially hitting the banister then tumble down the stairs. That served to break her fall and is probably why she was ok after that fall....wow
kids are tough and can fall from much higher cuz they have less weight, it honestly pretty expected for them to be fine, broken limb at most if they landed awkwardly the actual miracle was the toddler on the stairs not getting hit
WoW😮!! Watching this brought back so many memories for me. Years ago I fell through my attic into my bedroom scared the heck outta me. Thankfully I wasn’t hurt!!
@@coffeenocreame I have so many memories of sitting on the floor of the attic in our big old farmhouse, reading the old Readers Digests and Pathway magazines, while warm summer rains drummed on the metal roof just above my head. Good times! 😊
I thought they were already floored until I had to make a wire run from the roof to the electric panel, my co worker was already in the attic on the far end and told me to come to him so I started to walk over and went through the ceiling luckily I caught a beam and pulled my self up or else I would've fallen 2 stories strait to tile

Wat happened to make her fall thru the ceiling? Contractors messed up big time, and there should consequences for there faulty work and heads should be rolling! You should call a very good attorney! Happy to know that your daughter survived her traumatizing ordeal! So sad 😮

She did not even break a bone falling basically on the stairs?! And that little BOY GOING DOWN THE LAST STAIRS was EXTREMELY LUKY. This whole things could have ended up VERY Tragically. I am sure the mom did not even realize that. How lucky these two kids were!!
I was 60 years old. I was helping my daughter move ... I was helping her with her mattress and slipped and fell down the whole flight of stairs and the bed was on top of me. I'm 68 now ... She still laughs until she cries when I mention it. I come from a different family. Very glad the young lady is ok.
Something similar happened to my mom except a little more serious, it used to make me and my sister laugh, to this day I can't help it. My mom would get mad because she would see us trying to hold it in and failing. She used to think we were laughing at her and didn't care. While it's true she could've got seriously hurt, aside from a couple scrapes she turned out to be ok. She never understood that we were laughing about how it happened not at her. It was so funny, like something straight out of a comedic movie, left me with one of those moments in life where you stop for a couple of seconds and ask yourself did that just really happen?... I miss my mom so much, I love her to the moon and back, I'm sure you daughter loves you too, don't judge her to harshly for laughing instead of showing more concern, if she is with you, like how I was with my mom, you can be sure the love and appreciation is there... RIP mom, love and miss you so so much, you're always in heart.. promise
Hahaha that's like the time my momma was talk talk talking away and a bug flew in her mouth. She kept talking. My dad and I just stared at her mouth until she started choking and we laughed our a**** off when she tripped over the rug to go to the bathroom and puke. Priceless "If it's crying it ain't dying" Were a bunch of country hicks though so we get very little entertainment.

Doing electrical work in a duplex attic, my buddy fell through but hung up on the rafters. The sheetrock and insulation fell right on an elderly ladies stove and she was making bacon and eggs for breakfast. It startled her and then she was laughing hysterically. She said it was hilarious seeing half a body hanging in her kitchen. We cleaned everything up and got Sheetrock and fixed it. She actually offered to cook us a meal afterwards! She loved that she had a story to tell.😂 Wonderful person.🙂 (ps:We told her we would be working up there beforehand.)
As an ex female firefighter, I can tell you what happened. She was in the attic. I don’t know if it was a finished attic or not. I’m assuming not but you HAVE to walk in the beams only. Unfinished attics are extremely dangerous. How do I know, bc it happened to me on a call. I thought I was on a beam, it was no lighting up there and instead the homeowner had a bed rail up there and that’s what I was on. It flipped and one minute I was in the attic. The next I was in her washer/dryer room on the first floor. Im so glad she’s ok 🙏🏽
@@wilson.5420 , Your comment doesn't make make any sense, we don't need to know she's a female and a firefighter , all we need to know is make sure you step on the beam.
Was just telling a friend of mine how these contractors are constructing these homes by using the cheapest of the cheap materials, then selling these homes 10 times what they are actually worth. I am just happy your daughter is ok because this could have been a more serious outcome. Thank God she is fine.
@@m.s_vids6058 before trying to insult someone know the correct terminology is "sheetrock" and not "sheep rock." You should take your own advice and be a little smarter. Use your cerebral cortex when telling someone to be smarter, especially when you lack smartness. Some people live in attics and it does not collapse as this one did. Use your common sense, as we can see clearly it's not that common for you.
@@Ivluve as you said dipshit it’s sheetrock, standard for every ceiling in every resedential home in America and many other first world countries. The parents left the attic ladder down as seen in the top right corner and a kid who ain’t know that u can’t walk on sheetrock went exploring. Mom must’ve felt even worse when she figured that out, if she ever did 😂
My wife is same way.. she cares but.. it's that the emotion just sits in rest and does not come out except if she is pissed that emotion jumps out like a tiger 🐯 lol😊
That's horrible 😂 that's not funny but this post was about to make me cry like tears forming and here goes ur post lmaoooo took me off guard but that's sad yet kinda tickle me how u said it.
@@neynay8730 only people who understand the structure of a common house know this. Lol, Not sure why they would let her play up there anyways with all that insulation.
I have no idea ? Im pretty sure i have the capability to imagine how scary it is to fall through a structure and bounce off of things. Not for a second did i mistake it for a good time
For anyone not aware how this happened: when you go in to your attic, DO NOT STEP ON THE INSULATION. Only step on the wood floor that is visible. The only thing the blown insulation is sitting on is Sheetrock hence why this lady fell through It
Our attic is like this, I took aluminum loading ramps in with me, and just kept alternating them in order to get where I needed to be. The fact that this person wasn't injured is amazing.
ESPECIALLY IN MODERN HOUSES!! Older houses are meant to bear weight on beams and will happily take plywood floors across them. Modern houses are not happy with any weight on the beams.
Oh lord even older houses are easier to fall thru than new drywall because the board is old and brittle. I guarantee your truss centers are spaced at 2' wide instead of 12"-16" which is code now... if I was you I'd stay out of the attic, hire an insured pro
@@sjoel3982 My gal is solid. There’s no attic, which is fine. The last guy that lived here was a fine carpenter. My only regret is that he didn’t get to the doors upstairs. Otherwise, she’s a good ol’ gal.
For those watching, if this ever happens it doesn’t matter if the person says they’re fine. They need to go to the hospital. I know someone who fell through a barn roof. Got up, drove home, had dinner with their family, went to bed, woke up, and their side of their stomach was sticking out weirdly. They damn near died from internal bleeding. They’d also had fractured their neck and broken their collar bone, thankfully both were very minor and they only required a stabilization brace.
Head trauma too. If I remember correctly, Kurt Angle's dad fell 15 feet on his head at a construction site. He then decided to walk to the hospital and then later died not long after he arrived. Always better to be safe then sorry.
I am an Alarm technician. Every now and then I'm required to go into an attic and I can tell you first hand that attic can be very dangerous if you don't know how to walk in it. STAY ON THE JOIST.
My brother in law and a few of us were outside on a balcony on the second floor with a third floor above us. The girl upstairs was sitting her baby on the edge and leaning down talking to us. A few minutes later my bro in law sees a baby flying thru the air so he reaches out and grabs it. Then we all freak out because of his instincts the baby was ok. The mother started screaming and came downstairs and got the baby. I tore into her and told her she better not ever do that again and it was just a miracle that my brother-in-law caught the baby. He just reached out and grabbed him and then when he realized what he had done he started shaking. Babies are wild things that jump and wiggle and try to get out of your arms. You have to be prepared at all times. Wildest thing I 😊ever saw.
In my entire life(8 decades) I can't recall anyone in my family or circle of friends doing stupid things. Now stupidity is everywhere. 90% of Everyone under 50 is insane.
@CjJohnson-kf1oz That's just not true. Your exaggeration is laughable. So make sure no one under 50 treats you in the hospital. Your logic is incredibly flawed. Good luck being that grumudgeon though.
Attics used to have floors. Women turned then into sewing rooms. Men took the basements. These new homes aren't making attic space correctly. It should be able to store things. That's why people never lost things when the basements flooded. Their heirlooms were on the attic
@@getchristielovewe had a bedroom in ours and plenty of storage space. No mildew or mold or flooding issues like in basements. Just hot as hell in the summers
@@getchristielove this has been a thing for a long time now. Since at least the 80s. I wouldn't call this a "new thing" unless I was taking the entire history of home building into account.
Ok everyone is fine. Let's all realize the daughter was crawling around where she shouldn't have been. Stepping right on insulation and drywall. That doesn't mean the house was built poorly. If they want to turn the attic into a space she can walk in they need to put in a floor up there.
@@lisacaron7224 I easily punsh trough a us wall, while trying this in Germany would break my bones. People don't fall through ceilings in Europe, that's a states thing🤣
As weird as it sounds, clipping the railing on her way down probably helped. It slowed her fall a little so she didn't just drop the full height directly into the floor/stairs.

If "They don't make em like they used to" was a house. Edit: if you don't have floorboards in your attic to at least accommodate any maintenance that may be performed in your attic your house is technically unfinished :) #ChangeMyMind
Bro, although she didn’t catch her, her instincts to try and grab her mid air…PARENTS ARE the REAL LIFE SUPER HEROS we always wanted seriously. It happened so fast but she was on it.
It's actually good the mom didn't catch her. If she did manage to grab her the daughter and mom would have both gone over the railing with her and if the mom landed on top of her daughter that could have caused more injuries to the daughter. Mom might have gotten seriously injured too. Possibly even a broken kneck because she'd most likely end up falling with her upper body/head pointing down ward.
I thought this was gonna be clickbait. I did not expect the child to actually fall through the ceiling. Jeez, kids are resilient because that would have killed us.
How in the world was she fine after that fall! She didn't just fall through the ceiling onto the floor, she fell from over top of the stairwell and landed on the steps, thank God she's young and resilient ❤🙏❤️
A few years ago, I fell through my attic ceiling into the dining room. My son had just come home 5 minutes before, all the way from FL to PA and he caught me. I had multiple contusions and was treated at the hospital. I am SO INCREDIY GRATEFUL he caught me!!!!!
