A Man Caught A Baby Thrown Out Of A Burning House In Arizona, US by SonOfALion: 12:36pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
Phillip Blanks, a former college football player and ex-Marine, made the greatest catch of his life when he saved a child thrown from a burning building over the weekend. [img]https://images./4e7E2cIfZxyVjuCfbo4ZRw.gif[/img] A shocking video showed the moment Blanks caught a three-year-old boy thrown from the balcony of a burning apartment complex in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 3, right before he hit the ground, KABC reported. "Instinct. There wasn't much thinking. I just reacted. I just did it," he told the station. The 28-year-old said he was always raised with the mindset to serve others. Blanks served in the U.S. Marines and currently has a job in the security industry. [img]https://images./1em3wthCsiO8T67790aJUZ.jpg[/img] Philip Blanks He also credits his time playing football as a wide receiver for Saddleback College in Mission Viejo as key to his personal growth. "I know how to catch," he says. "I've learned how to catch a football. So I'll give some credit to football." On the day of the fire he heard a lot of commotion outside of his building. Then Blanks heard someone yell there was a fire, so he grabbed a few things and ran outside barefoot to check it out. "He was twirling in the air like a propeller," Blanks said. "I just did my best. His head landed perfectly on my elbow. His ankle got twisted up as I was diving. The guy who was there with me – it looked like he wasn't going to catch him. So that's why I stepped in. I just wanted to make a better catch." While the child's life was saved, his 30-year-old mother died in the fire. Her final act was to fling her son to safety while she was already engulfed in flames. "She's the real hero of the story." Blanks said. "Because she made the ultimate sacrifice to save her children." The boy's father was at work when the blaze broke out. Investigators are still investigating the cause of the fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSoshSchUJI https://www.breitbart.com/local/2020/07/08/video-ex-wide-receiver-catches-child-thrown-burning-building/ 98 Likes 15 Shares |

If he resists the urge to shalaye about his catching skills, maybe some good things will come his way The african in france who climbed up 3 stories to save a dangling baby didn't say he was a palmwine tapper or a monkey acknowledge the deed and receive the thanks with humility 125 Likes 6 Shares |

GMBuhari: One needs to learn to resist the urge to reject compliments and attribute it to something. A good man is a blessing to the society. God keep the child and console the father and everyone who would be affected by the death of the mother. 95 Likes 4 Shares |

Oh her final moment was hell. Engulfed in flames, frightened and in pain, the only coherent thought was to save her kids and not herself. This is love & only parents can give. I'm heartbroken. Rest in peace brave woman. 327 Likes 26 Shares |

Oh my my my... A mother's instinct is the most powerful in creation. She was already burning, engulfed in flames and despite the unimaginably horrible pain she was going through, it was her child she was thinking of. 74 Likes 12 Shares |

This kind of bravery and kinsmanship is what we are trying to force on the Igbos. Especially those who have lived all their lives in their erosion ravaged villages... They will charge you before doing anything. Maka why na 5 Likes |
