A father’s brave action during a powerful earthquake in Thailand has captured hearts around the world. Kwon Young Jun, a resident of Bangkok, showed incredible courage when he jumped across a collapsing sky bridge to reach his wife and child.
The 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Thailand on March 28. At the time, Kwon was exercising on the 52nd floor of a high-rise building in Bangkok. He noticed that the sky bridge connecting his building to the next one — where his family was — had started to collapse.
Without thinking twice, Kwon took a huge risk. He ran and jumped across the collapsing bridge, which was nearly 600 feet above the ground. Thankfully, he landed safely on the other side with only a few scratches.
This brave act was caught on video and quickly spread across social media. People everywhere have praised Kwon for his courage and quick thinking. Many are calling him a real-life hero.
Kwon’s story is a reminder of how strong the bond of family can be. In a moment of great danger, he chose to act instead of panic. His fearless jump might have lasted only a few seconds, but it has left a lasting impact on people all over the world.
As rescue teams continue to assess the damage caused by the earthquake, stories like Kwon’s bring hope and inspiration. They show that even in the darkest moments, human courage and love can shine through.
Kwon’s selfless act has not only saved his family but also inspired millions, proving that real heroes don’t always wear uniforms — sometimes, they’re just fathers doing whatever it takes to protect their loved ones.
