Netizens react:
One user wrote, "Brave Girl.... The sense of urgency was too good." Another other added, "Brave Girl.... From Other Angel." A third commented, "This little girl did something that many of us couldn’t do: she protected like Durga."
Another added, "Actually, you're not supposed to keep the loft doors open like that. Better to enter the lift and go to another floor. Like this u don't get hurt and don't break a lift, which will require lots of money of repairing"
Another individual suggested, "The elevator would remain there until next button press or would have moved to a different floor where someone could escort the kids to safety."
