A Guy Caught A Baby Thrown From A Burning Building
As you read through this story it sounds like the setup for a bad joke...but its real.
--24-year-old Jeff Bryant of Milwaukie, Oregon was walking out of his apartment around 9:30 A.M. on Saturday when he heard alarms and saw black smoke coming out of a building nearby.
--He also spotted a woman on the second floor with a BABY in her hands. Jeff dropped his coffee cup, ran over, and yelled at the woman to TOSS her baby to him.
--She asked, quote, "Are you sure you'll catch him?" Jeff says he was sure he would. After all, he says, he played middle school basketball and was a solid rebounder. Plus, uh, this was a higher stakes situation.
--The woman was 24-year-old Kimberly Hasty. She trusted Jeff . . . and his rusty basketball skills . . . and tossed her one-year-old son to him. He caught the baby.
