Four year old survives six-story fall

They’re calling it the Miami miracle. Joey Williams, age 4, was chasing a balloon on the balcony of his family’s 17th-story apartment in a Miami high rise when he climbed over the railing and tumbled onto a pool deck six stories below. He sustained only minor injuries. Officials say his fall was slowed when he hit a palm tree and a shrub on the way down, landing on a dirt surface. Jay Moseley witnessed the incident from the deck. “It was like God’s hand was on him as he came down,” Moseley said.
