When a bundle of washing fell out of her 10th floor window and landed on the next balcony down, a woman from Faridabad in northern India decided that just popping downstairs and asking for the clothes back would take too long.

Instead she lowered her young son down the outside of the building using a sari as an improvised rope in a risky manoeuvre that one observer called the “heights of carelessness, insensitivity & irresponsibility”.
