A teacher in China who tried to record an online class on her phone on the balcony of her 26th-floor apartment ended up filming the 300-foot drop to the ground instead when the phone accidentally fell.

The female teacher, who was not named in local media in Dazhou, Sichuan Province, shared the video of her epic fail from the morning of 7th December on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

In the footage, the woman can be seen sitting in front of the camera after she placed her phone on the 26th-floor balcony while attempting to teach an online lecture.

But as soon as she uttered the first sentence, her phone slipped and came tumbling down nearly 300 feet before landing in the bushes.

Amazingly, the camera was still on and recording as the mobile flipped through the air for about seven seconds.

The woman said she was amazed when she found that it was still working normally after she recovered it from the ground.

She said: “I thought it was broken, and I dare not put it by the window again.”

Netizens were also stunned that the phone survived the long fall.

And user ‘M.’ jokingly commented: “If you turn on aeroplane mode, it won’t fall down, and it will fly back by itself.”
