2 men break their arms saving children jumping from 40 feet up in Grenoble fire

Two children aged three and ten, jumped from a window into the arms of onlookers after a fire engulfed their flat.

The children were treated for smoke inhalation after their escape from the fire in Grenoble in south eastern France.

Video at the link (from far off - you're not going to make out the broken arms. The Daily Mail reckoned 40 feet, but I think it might be more - it's from the 4th floor, counting the American way, but the ground floor is tall).
