I meant to post this last week i saw the pic in paper and thought wow. The baby was thrown outta a third floor window and caught by police.

Unfortunately a few people died in the fire.

[Rev.Alushaun]

[the squid of despair]

Yeah I believe it was an off-duty police officer that caught the baby. I'm would've been nervous as hell.

[Buckledmac]

im rubbish at catching :$ imagine if he'd of missed - proberly would of shattered him

[Lord Temujin]

O.o..if the cop missed do you think he woulda been held accountable?

and...I get your house is burning down around you..but would you HONESTLY be willing to fling your baby out the window in the HOPES that buddy can catch?

[the squid of despair]

but would you HONESTLY be willing to fling your baby out the window in the HOPES that buddy can catch?

Yes.

Absolutely. If I thought that was the only chance that he had at living, and that staying in that room with me burning to death was the only other option. I cant imagine how terrible of a feeling that must be as a parent having to make that choice though.

[Lord Temujin]

True enough

I still wonder what the cop was thinking..was he more worried about catching and saving the kid...

Or more worried about what would happen if he missed?

[kitty]

I cant even imagine having to be the one on the ground catching that kid:| I'm sure he didnt have much time to be thinking of anything at all. Can you imagine the thoughts that were running through his head after that though?

[Tca]

wow, i just saved a baby, i should play footy :P

[Button Pusher]

or "oh great... now he's crying... i just friggin saved his life and this is the thanks i get?"
