American servicemen in South Korea helped coordinate an extraordinary rescue as women and babies were dropped from the fourth story of a burning building into a safety blanket.

Bill Frost recorded the incredible rescue and uploaded the footage to his Facebook page.

"One of my stellar Airmen/teammates, MSgt Daniel Raimondo, helped save 3 women and 3 babies from this burning building outside Osan Airbase, Korea, by rallying folks on the street to help him hold a blanket while convincing mothers to toss their babies and then themselves from four stories to escape the flames," he wrote.

The video below from KBS News shows close-up footage of the crowd holding the blanket:
