2-Year-Old Rescues His Twin Brother From Under A Fallen Dresser (After Doing Something Ridiculous)

Brothers are supposed to look after each other, and that’s exactly what this little 2-year-old did when his twin brother got trapped beneath a fallen chest of drawers.

Bowdy Shoff, from Utah, US, found almost superhuman levels of strength when the furniture collapsed and pinned his brother Brock underneath while the two were climbing on it. The video below, which apparently took place on December 30th, was captured by a surveillance camera in the family’s home. It was recently shared by the children’s father Ricky as a warning to other parents of what can happen when the household furniture isn’t firmly attached to the wall.

“I’ve been a little hesitant to post this,” he wrote. “But I feel it’s not only to bring awareness, but it is also incredible. We are so grateful for the bond that these twin brothers share. Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall.”

I know accidents happen, but where was everyone?? surely someone should have heard a big crash and some crying!

I read somewhere else that they didn't hear thw crash, and that they themselves even don't know how they couldn't hear it, and that they're terribly sorry, very relieved about the outcome, and their overall attitude towards what happened implies they'll be more careful from now on.

Ok so what took the parents so long to respond and that kid played so a while before he did anything, and I agree with others why didn't they yell for their parents. You have video surveillance but not a baby monitor? Wtf

For those who are calling "bad parent", while this accident was preventable, this is extremely common. (some statistics say every 20 minutes in the US) People don't think to anchor low profile furniture. I think we all want to think we would never make a mistake like this and only children who are neglected get hurt. Let's take the lesson and reserve judgment.
