Bronx Girl Survives Fall from Window

MYFOXNY.COM - It's a story you hear over and over again in New York: A child falls out the window. But this time, what was a likely tragedy now has a hopeful outcome.  

An 8-year-old Bronx girl plunged out a window 7 flights up -- and survived. Her name?

Destiny.

She landed on a patch a grass in front of the housing project where she lives -- just inches away from a paved roadway.

Destiny underwent hours of surgery at Jacobi Hospital, and sources said she is not out of the woods yet. Doctors are reportedly working very hard to save her. She has multiple broken bones and a shattered pelvis.

In New York City, window guards are required by law in apartments with children. Authorities say that the window did in fact appear to have a guard and are investigating. Police do not suspect foul play.
