Even the medical personnel were unable to move her. So have to call the city fire department, which sends 3 fire engines and 25 officers to save her. Firefighters have to cut away part of an exterior wall and remove a window to save her in her bathroom before lowering her to the ground (Yahoo news).
After removing part of the bathroom wall, cutting the window down to the floor, and taking out the toilet and radiator, firefighters moved her into a rescue basket in which she was lowered down a specially reinforced ladder to the ground outside.
