A horrifying video has surfaced on the internet which shows a mother in Cambodia saving her child just seconds before her home's ceiling collapsed. According to Fox News, the incident took place in the capital city of Phnom Penh on July 3.
The video begins with the mother named Pip Srey holding a baby and standing alongside three young children in a room. The mother hears a sound and the woman starts running along with her two children while clutching the baby. She pulls her child who was left behind in a baby walker to safety. The ceiling that was above her and the children came crashing to the ground.

The mother while talking to Fox News said, "He would have died if the roof fell on him. It was just my instinct to run away when I saw the roof falling down. Something made me look back, and I saw him there, so I just ran over and grabbed him."
One of the builders told the news outlet, "There was no water-proofing in the original plans for the house. All of the rain has made the ceiling weaker. It is because of poor construction."
"People should be aware of this when they buy homes, as one day it could fall down, just like what happened here," that builder added.
