A pregnant Lubavitcher woman is lucky to be alive after she miraculously survived a 50-foot fall off a sheer cliff while on a hike with her family near the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
“I was ahead with one of the kids when suddenly my daughter comes screaming to me ‘Mommy fell off the cliff,’ the husband related to CrownHeights.info. “If you would see this cliff, you would think that’s it, it’s finished.”
The cliff is located on an elevated portion of the trail, has rocks protruding from it top to bottom, and ends near the water’s edge – a combination of deadly features that threatens the life of anyone who falls off it.
The husband said he was shocked when he shouted down to his wife, who responded saying that was okay. Several men nearby went to help the woman – the husband was unable to reach her from his vantage point – as emergency personnel were called in to rescue her.
Some 15 firefighters rappelled down the cliff to assist the injured woman and evacuated her by boat before transferring her to a hospital for treatment, where doctors concluded that she and her unborn baby had suffered only minor, non-life-threatening injuries.
“When the police officer called me later on and was told that my wife and the baby were fine, he was basically crying,” the husband said.

Thank you HASHEM for showing us miracles!
A pregnant Lubavitcher woman
IT SHOULD SAY A PREGNANT JEWISH WOMEN. WHO CARES IF SHE IS CHASEDISH OR NOT.. WHY ARE WE STEROTYPING PEOPLE
ברוך שעשה נסים!!!
[The picture and headline is slightly misleading. I imagined someone falling down the actual Niagara Falls. Nu nu, at least it got me to look!]
Ki Malachav yitzaveh lach lishmarcha…
BH. Chasdei Hashem ki lo somnu.
@yosse: How are they stereotyping? Is YWN implying Lubavitcher women always fall off cliffs? Or that they always get saved by miracles?
If they shouldn’t write Lubavitcher, maybe they should also not mention that she was Jewish, after all, is a goy (l’havdil) falling off a cliff any less of a miracle?
And why should they mention that she was pregnant? And why mention that it was a woman? And why mention that it was at Niagara Falls?
Would it be any less of a miracle if it was a Muslim (non-pregnant) man (after all, men can get pregnant nowadays, no?) who fell off a cliff in the Swiss Alps?
The entire news article should have been written like this:
PERSON (or maybe: creature) FALLS OFF CLIFF. MINOR INJURIES.
Or maybe this is a NEWS site that tells us interesting news, with as many details as possible! If the details don’t interest you, that’s your problem.
