And down will come baby

Both of these stories are a couple of days old and I didn’t plan on mentioning either story here. But it is a slow day and plus both of the stories are pretty nuts, so here it goes.

The first story takes place in Germany where frantic parents had no other choice than to throw their baby to a police officer…FOUR STORIES BELOW! Amazingly the police officer actually made the catch and the parents also made it out ok so everything worked out. Well at least for this family because others died during the blaze which also included children. Read the whole story here.

The second super baby story is from right the USA. This kid was thrown (by a freakin’ tornado) 300ft and was ok except for some scratches, brusies and a little mud in his eye.

It was as rescue workers combed the devastated town of Castalian Springs, Tennessee, that firefighter David Harmon came across what looked “like a baby doll”.

“He was laying face down with his arms above his head… He was just laying there motionless, wasn’t moving,” Mr Harmon said.

The baby was lying 100m or more from the ruins of his house. His mother, 23-year-old Kerri Stowell, was found dead in the same field.

He was taken to the children’s hospital at Vanderbilt University, but had only light cuts and bruises.

I think if I ever hire security guards, to do my light work of course, they will all be babies. Sure there will be a bunch of crying and whining but when it is about to ‘go down’ they will be ready.
