A little miracle on a very bad day
by digby
The fire in London was so terrible. But this is a wonderful outcome to the most horrifying decision anyone could possibly have to make:
During the massive fire at west London’s Grenfell Tower, a woman tossed a baby out of a window and someone below caught the baby.
The tiny tot fell at least nine floors before landing in the arms of a stranger.
Samira Lamrani told NBC News, “A woman appeared at the window gesturing and trying to get somebody’s attention. She had the baby in hand — she was gesturing like she was going to throw the baby out.”
“She wrapped the child up in some sort of thick blanket, and then just dropped the baby out of the window.”
Lamrani then watched as a bystander “miraculously” caught the child.
She added, “The baby just sort of dropped in a straight line, and a guy just ran forward and the baby fell into his arms.”
