American servicemen in South Korea rescued three children from a burning building as the mother dropped her babies out of a fourth-floor window.

The U.S. soldiers and airmen pulled support from onlookers to hold spread out blankets while they caught the children individually. All three survived.

The mother leaped from the window last and suffered non-life threatening injuries, NBC News reported Tuesday. Bill Frost, the man who posted the video, said that two other women were also rescued.

The soldiers and airmen were at a shopping center when they heard the episode and saw a mother dangling a baby from the window of the burning building as smoke billowed from the windows.

Master Sgt. Daniel Raimondo reportedly led the rescue effort.

An officer caught the incident on camera and posted it online where it has been shared to Facebook over 1,000 times, according to The Korea Herald.
