(CNN) — 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 recording the incredible rescue and posted the footage to his Facebook page and wrote the following:

“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. You’re awesome Danny!”

The video shows the women and children dangled out of the window as black smoke billows from the floor below.

They are then dropped to safety below.
