5th floor? 10th floor? 12th floor?... Since there were no eyewitnesses at the scene who saw the location where the woman fell from the building, the police could only start from the 5th floor of the Century Plaza Building and ask one by one whether anyone in the east-facing offices had seen the woman appear.
At the scene of the fall, a Mazda6 car became a "convertible".
Who is the owner of the Mazda6? Why hasn't he appeared yet? An hour after the incident, the owner of the Mazda6 still hadn't shown up. At 1:30 PM, a middle-aged woman ran over from Daliang Alley, sobbing loudly, attracting the attention of many onlookers.
Many people thought that the "Mazda6" car pulled Ms. Chen back from the brink of death, but it was not the case. Bu Honghui, a top physics teacher at Hangzhou High School, believed that rather than saying the car saved Ms. Chen's life, it was actually the tree that saved her.
After receiving the emergency call, the patrol control group of Jiangxia Police Station quickly arrived at the scene. Fortunately, inside the Mazda6 car, apart from the fallen woman, there were no other people. The fallen woman was still able to talk, but her consciousness was somewhat blurred. Subsequently, the fallen woman was taken to the hospital for rescue by the arriving 120 emergency medical personnel.
The first eyewitness was Xiao Xu, who worked at Century Plaza. Before the incident happened, she and her colleague Xiao Zhou went back to the company together after having lunch. They just walked by the Mazda6 when a loud noise startled them. Turning around, they saw that the roof of the Mazda6 had been dented inward, and there was actually a person lying flat inside! It looked like a woman with branches all over her body, pale face, unable to speak, trembling legs, and groaning slightly.
"The branches are sometimes more effective than air cushions," said Bu Honghui.
After regaining her composure, the car owner introduced herself as Ms. Yu, an immigrant from Xiangshan. She came to Ningbo with her sister and niece early in the morning to handle some affairs. At 11:50 AM, they arrived at Xiaojia Alley, parked the car, and then went to a restaurant in Daliang Alley for lunch. Five minutes ago, a waiter ran into the restaurant and said that someone had jumped from the Century Building and hit a car, but the person was still alive - it was a miracle. Ms. Yu asked what color the car was, and the waiter said red, which made Ms. Yu breathe rapidly. Then she asked what the license plate number was, and the waiter said he forgot but took a photo with his mobile phone. After seeing the license plate number, Ms. Yu cried out and burst into tears, throwing down her chopsticks and leaving.
A head abrasion, pulmonary hemorrhage, right leg fracture... Although Ms. Chen was injured, she did not enter the intensive care unit of the hospital. The doctor also sighed that she survived after jumping from the 27th floor, which was a miracle.
On the top floor, the 27th floor, the police finally found clues. A female employee of a company named Tong Mou stated that at 11:50 AM, while she was in the eastern toilet, she saw a woman standing there wearing a pink top, jeans, holding a bag, standing in front of the window as if lost in thought. Tong Mou thought that the woman was also there to use the restroom, so she didn't pay much attention and left. Half an hour later, she heard her colleagues talking about someone falling from the building downstairs, hitting a car. The woman's appearance matched the one she saw in the toilet, but she had already been taken away by the 120 emergency services, so she couldn't confirm it with her own eyes.
Tong Mou also provided an important clue: the window of the eastern women's restroom was always closed and rarely opened; after the woman fell, she specifically went to the restroom and saw that the window was open. After the on-site investigation and verification by the police, the 27th floor window was determined to be the point where the woman jumped from.
"At noon, I bought this two-year-old car and hardly drove it, usually just used it to pick up and drop off my son, and rarely drove it to Ningbo." Ms. Yu really couldn't understand why someone would jump from a building onto her car that was parked properly by the roadside.
The property security of Century Plaza said that the building has a total of 27 floors, nearly 90 meters high. Falling from such a height and still surviving is almost a miracle.
Five minutes later, the joint investigation team from Jiangxia Police Station and the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Haishu Branch entered the Century Plaza Building to investigate the cause and location of the woman's fall.
When the woman went to the Jiangxia Police Station to make a statement, she started crying again. Another police officer returned from the hospital and told Ms. Yu that thanks to the Mazda6 car, the life of the woman who jumped from the building was saved. Hearing this, Ms. Yu felt much better. She said that she was glad that her car could save a suicidal person.
The woman stood helplessly in front of the Mazda6. Seeing her car become a "convertible", the woman continued to cry loudly. This cry let everyone know that the owner of the Mazda6 had appeared.
As of 7:30 PM last night when the reporter filed the story, the suicidal woman was still being treated in the hospital. The doctor introduced that her life was basically secured.
Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhou, seeing this scene, felt weak in their legs and speechless, quickly moving away from the Mazda6 car. At this time, diners from nearby restaurants in Xiaojia Alley rushed out to see what happened. Seeing the woman lying in the car still moving, someone immediately called the police.
Mr. Bu Honghui said that from a physics perspective, if Ms. Chen had fallen directly from the 27th floor onto the car, the survival rate would be almost zero because the car roof is made of steel plates. If a person hits the steel plate, you can imagine the result. But during Ms. Chen's fall, she was caught by a tree first, giving her a chance to slow down, and the branches had elasticity, greatly reducing Ms. Chen's landing speed. Even more fortunate was that after being slowed down by the branches, Ms. Chen landed smoothly on the car, and her head did not hit the roof. In short, due to various factors combined, Ms. Chen managed to survive after jumping from the 27th floor, which was a miracle.
The woman who attempted suicide was sent to the Second Hospital, and she kept saying: "Let me go, let me go..." Under the patient guidance of the police, the emotions of the woman who jumped from the building stabilized somewhat. She indicated that her surname was Chen, she was 30 years old, from Cixi, and temporarily residing in Haishu District. Jumping from the 27th floor was a suicidal act. Her husband, who arrived at the hospital shortly after, said that his wife had suffered from postpartum depression for two years and had been receiving treatment in the hospital. Half a month ago, his wife's mood became abnormally unstable, showing tendencies towards nihilism. "She didn't say a word in the morning and left, and she didn't answer my calls. I never expected her to choose suicide..." Mr. Chen said vaguely.
After completing the statement, Ms. Yu was taken away by the insurance company's accident investigation team members. As for whether the damaged car would be compensated by the insurance company, the staff said they were unclear, it was the first time they encountered such a situation, and they would need to report to the claims center after the investigation was completed.
Standing on the rooftop of the Century Plaza Building in Haishu, she originally wanted to end her life by jumping, but fate did not allow the tragedy to happen —— after falling from a building nearly 90 meters high, she still survived.
At noon yesterday, a woman jumped from the 27th floor toilet windowsill of Century Plaza. Just before landing, she was first caught by a tree, then bounced by the branches onto the car roof, and the entire person fell into the car. Fortunately, after being sent to the hospital, the woman was still able to converse with the police and give a statement.
