A baby in the US state of Minnesota has survived an 11-storey fall from an apartment balcony, local media report.<\/p>\n

Musa Dayib, one, has two arm fractures and is breathing with the help of a ventilator but is expected to live, after slipping through a railing.<\/p>\n

His doctor said his youth as well as the softer ground he landed on helped contribute to his survival.<\/p>\n

Family and friends in Minneapolis’s Somali community say the family is in shock.<\/p>\n

“When people found out he survived, no one could believe it,” community activist Abdirizak Bihi\u00a0told the Star-Tribune newspaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I’m more concerned about his dad and his mother,” Mr Bihi said. “They’re devastated. They can’t even speak.”<\/p>\n

Dr Tina Slusher, who treated Musa, said an adult who fell from that distance would almost certainly be dead.<\/p>\n

“Little [children] are more flexible and don’t break as easily as we do and he also fell in a very small patch of mulch [loose material put on soil],” she told\u00a0local broadcaster KARE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But she added it was “definitely a miracle. It’s God’s gift to his family. Kids don’t fall this far and make it often.<\/p>\n
