In a video that’s now going viral, a young girl can be seen displaying courage and quick thinking. In the clip, the girl saves two kids from being trapped inside a reportedly faulty elevator, preventing a potential tragedy.

In the 41-second CCTV footage shared on X (formerly Twitter), the two children were about to get trapped as the elevator doors began to close. In no time, the girl rushes and places her hand between the doors trying to keep them ajar. She is also assisted by a woman standing beside her.

At one point, as the doors open slightly, and she quickly stands between them. The girl picks one child and hands her over to one woman, while the other child is seen saved by the other woman. At another moment in the video, one of the women also picks her up and moves her out to safety.

The location of the incident is not known as yet.

Netizens react:

One user wrote, “Brave Girl…. The sense of urgency was too good.” Another other added, “Brave Girl…. From Other Angel.” A third commented, “This little girl did something that many of us couldn’t do: she protected like Durga.”

Another added, “Actually, you’re not supposed to keep the loft doors open like that. Better to enter the lift and go to another floor. Like this u don’t get hurt and don’t break a lift, which will require lots of money of repairing”

Another individual suggested, “The elevator would remain there until next button press or would have moved to a different floor where someone could escort the kids to safety.”
