Girl's narrow escape as elevator ceiling falls in China

A six-year-old girl in China has narrowly avoided injury after two steel panels fell from the ceiling of the elevator she was travelling in.

The little girl was inside the lift on her own in Mianyang city earlier this month when CCTV cameras captured the miraculous footage.

When the doors part, the girl walks out unaware of the danger behind her.

Only seconds after she leaves, the two panels come crashing down from the elevator ceiling, landing right where she had been standing.
