Catching A Falling Baby (not a metaphor)


Ever seen real footage of someone catching a baby dropped from a third floor window? It's blurry, but can be found here. A mother, trapped by fire and smoke in her apartment in the Bronx, cried out to the people below to save her baby and dropped him out the window. Felix Vasquez caught the baby and he's totally unhurt. Whew, catching a baby is a lot of pressure, I'm thoroughly impressed.
