A 10-year-old boy is recovering today after falling 100 feet into a gorge at Niagara Falls. 

The child sat on a railing so his mom could take a photo of him but he lost his balance and fell backwards. He was taken to a Hamilton, Ontario hospital by helicopter with critical injuries.

Miraculously, the boy is now in stable condition and authorities are investigating the incident.
