Meanwhile, her employer stepped back and recorded a video of the fall.

The floor looks clean in this high rise apartment, seven stories above Kuwait City traffic. Not a smudge in sight on the picture window. On the other side of the glass, the maid is hanging on by one knuckle, screaming.

“Oh crazy, come here,” a woman says casually in Arabic, holding a camera up to the maid.

“Hold on to me! Hold on to me!” the maid yells.

Instead, the woman steps back. The maid’s grip finally slips, and she lands in a cloud of dust, many stories below.

The maid — an Ethiopian who had been working in the country for several years, according to the Kuwait Times — survived the fall. The videographer, her employer, was arrested last week on a charge of failing to help the worker.

Apparently the employer was attempting to murder her or threaten her, and she climbed out the window to escape. Explains how the employer did not care to try and rescue her.

For those who dont know: Kuwait is a tiny little paradise for rich spoiled people. If you didnt learn this in 1993 you now have the opportunity to learn it today.

We'd have no immigration problem if we would just adopt their system which appears to be nothing more than indentured servitude.
