A Russian couple had a narrow escape when their neighbour fell through their ceiling. Irina was relaxing in the bath after an exhausting day at work when the floor gave way dropping her and her bath tub onto the floor below. She said, "I had just dozed off when I heard this huge crash and realised what had happened. The bathroom floor just collapsed under the bath and I came crashing through the ceiling of my neighbours' flat below. They seemed as shocked as I was when they saw me lying there naked in the bath in the middle of their living room."

Irina was taken to the local hospital and treated for minor leg injuries but otherwise she was unhurt.
The floors of these old apartments are made of wood. Over the years the wood had rotted causing the floor to collapse.
