WATCH: Mom in Istanbul throws her four children out of a window to save them from a fire

We’ll say upfront that the mom and her four kids are safe and unharmed, but it’s hard to watch her just drop them out of the third-story window in an act of desperation to protect them from the fire. Note: There are spectators on the ground with a giant sheet that’s being used to catch the falling children:

Here’s another angle that shows the people on the ground:

Esenler'de bir apartmanda çıkan yangında can pazarı yaşandı. Yangında anne mahsur kalan çocuklarını 3'üncü kat penceresinden aşağında battaniye açan vatandaşlara atarak kurtardı. O anlar kameralara yansıdı. pic.twitter.com/7OdxDxTlST
