Lot less funny when you realize a 2-month old child is going to have to grow up without their mother due to this idiot's actions

I hope they throw the book at her.

The woman who died in the Osan city fire, a Chinese national in her 30s, lived on the fifth floor of the building with her husband and two-month-old baby.

When they realised that a fire had broken out, the couple opened their home window and called for help.

They handed their baby through the window to a neighbour in the adjacent block before trying to evacuate themselves.

The woman's husband managed to climb over to the next block. She tried to do the same, but fell from the window. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead hours later.

While the situation is horrible, I'm trying to imagine how you could hand over a baby, but not manage to climb across yourself... and the only reasons I can think of paint a bad picture.

For once I'm going to hope something was AI generated.

it's not. I remember seeing this image back in like the late 00's/early 10s.

I know, right? Who wears a sweater with short shorts? AND salmon with grey? Ugh.

I hope they investigate why every single fire suppression safeguard failed.

Can't imagine the guilt her husband would be feeling
