5SpeedRacer5 - yeah, sorry. Here's a more accurate way to put things:
The boy was hanging from the ledge of the 3rd floor. The ledge below the window on the 3rd floor unless gravity works differently at that school. Giving 3 meters per floor, that puts the boy's hands about 6 meters off the ground, and his feet about 4 and a half off the ground, or about 2 and a half meters above the lady's hands.
The boy's center of gravity probably fell about 3 meters before the lady's hands began to slow his decent. I don't imagine that she caught him outright - chest level or not. In fact, I think that he had a fairly rough landing - he injured his knee after all.
Stil, the point is that the ledge in question is most definitely not 9 meters above the ground. By your calculations that would put the ledge of the 2nd floor 6 meters above the ground and the ledge of the 1st floor (the ground) 3 meters off the ground.

The boys feet were about 4 and a half meters away from the lady's arms. She was most likely standing right under him when he fell. It's good she was there, but it's no surprise that the boy came away with only minor injuries.

I don't know for sure, but he'll likely get off very easy - even for a kid. Apparently he is mentally handicapped.

Forget prison. Shave that boy's head, put him in robes and make him live with the monks for the next couple of years.

TokyoGas at 08:52 AM JST - 19th October I wonder if the police actually asked, "Which one was born first?" Jeez. Is that relevant?
(I messed the quotes up. Should be more like this..) They probably asked who the お姉さん was and referred to the girls as お姉さん and 妹さん throughout the entire investigation. They would not very likely use their actual names.

People will learn to go pee before checking in. Kind of like weighing in for a wrestling match and then getting a drink.

It's a shame the boy died, or was even injured, but I feel for the driver as it sounds like the boy was crossing at a time/place he should not have been. Now the driver will pay dearly for that boy's error in judgment. Sad.

Somewhere, teenagers are giving each other high-fives, congratulating themselves on making the news.

I just saw this news on tv. The guard rail entered through the left headlight area, came out in the foot area of the passenger seat and went strait through the car and out the back. The 11 year old was in the passenger seat and his 8 year old sister behind him.
It was absolutely awful!
