Doctors say a 15-month-old Minneapolis boy is the definition of a miracle.

Musa Dayib survived a fall from his 11-story balcony at the Riverside Plaza apartments. Friends say the child’s father had walked into another room when he fell.

Noar Furreh lives in the building and witnessed the scene.

“The baby was laying down, his feet were facing the wall,” he said.

The 1-year-old had tumbled through the 5.5-inch slits on the 11th floor balcony. A family friend, Abdirizak Bihi, said it all happened very quickly.

4. I know those apartments. They should have been replaced 20 years ago.

They are part of an old high-rise affordable/public housing project from the late 1960s/early 1970s. They were an eyesore and a safety hazard from day one.

Good intentions gone badly awry.

6. We used to use playpens when I was a baby. They were for child safety. nt

7. I guess they are no longer in 'vogue'.

Strange. I grew up in one. They're a smart tool.

8. Kids just aren't as valuable anymore, I guess. nt
