When repair or construction work is going on in a building, people living or visiting there have to take extra precautions. Especially in the case of children, even a little carelessness can turn into a major accident. Many times children, while playing, reach such a place where they are unaware of the danger. In such a situation, if an alert person comes forward in time, the untoward incident can be avoided. A video that recently went viral on social media is an example of this, in which a security guard saved the life of an innocent child with his wisdom and responsibility.
In the video going viral, a scene is seen of a building where work related to elevator was going on. The door of the elevator is open and a deep gap is visible in front of it, which can prove fatal for anyone. Meanwhile, a small child is seen roaming there. The child is walking around without any fear and slowly starts moving towards the open part of the elevator. Anyone watching the video may hold their breath at that moment, as the child gets very close to the spot, unaware of the danger.
In this video, a security guard is seen as the real hero. As soon as the guard's eyes fall on the child and he sees that the child is going near the open gap of the elevator, he immediately becomes alert. However, he does not run in panic nor shout loudly, because due to this the child could get scared and take a wrong step. The guard moves forward with complete restraint and picks up the child in his lap at the right time. This decision of just a few seconds proves to be enough to save the life of the child.
This video is spreading rapidly on social media and people are praising the intelligence of the guard after seeing it. Many users say that the wisdom and patience with which the guard acted is praiseworthy. Some users say that if repair work was going on, then the elevator should already have strong security arrangements. Some people also asked how the child reached there alone and where were his parents or guardians at that time. Some users believe that the guard came into action a little late, although most people agree that his action at the last moment was very important.
