How exactly did he save them?

TL;DR: He sought his family, not saved. “Korean man leaps across Bangkok condo’s damaged sky bridge during quake to seek family” (the straits time). “He was exercising on the 52nd floor of one of three blocks at the Park Origin condominium in Thonglor when the earthquake struck,” “His wife and their daughter were in their residence on the 30th floor in a neighbouring block. All three buildings in the condominium complex are connected by sky bridges, which appeared to have been damaged by the quake with debris falling to the ground,” “As the buildings swayed visibly, Mr Kwon leaped across a falling sky bridge to get to the other building to look for his family,” “After he realised that they had already evacuated the block, he walked down more than 40 floors to reunite with his wife and one-year-old daughter outside the building.”

I'd love to see his fitness tracker for that day.

How do you evacuate a 1 year old 40 floors in the time of an earthquake? An earthquake last like a minute?

Well they probably already started evacuating by the time he'd made it to where they were, mayhe they werent outside yet but made it outside before him

An earthquake may only last a minute, but the damage it leaves will cause a butterfly effect of damages that lasts much longer.

As an example, If a car crashes into a bridge, its over in a second, but sometime later the bridge may collapse due to damage caused by the car crash.

Maybe there was a warning he missed?
