OhBiafra:
I have watched the video several times. I can't understand why the woman didn't jump down after throwing the child. What did she go back inside to do? Was there another child inside? Who can explain please
Just went to Google to dig further, the mother actually went back in to save her 8 year old daugher, but never came out. It is clear now.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020/07/09/child-dropped-balcony-fire-football-player-burning-building/

You have crossed the line, whatever you see from now, you caused it yourself.
Who cross the line?
Which line is being crossed?
What are you going to see now or later?
Jesus is Messenger and Servant of Allah.
Each and every time you say, sing or invite that :
ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE
BRING YOUR PROBLEM TO JESUS TO JESUS
WITHOUT JESUS YOU CAN RECEIVE SALVATION
You have cross the LINE in ISIAH
I, I AM THE LORD, AND BESIDES ME THERE IS NO SAVIOR.

You are ignorantly keeping, carrying, reading and even praying with wrath of Biblical God as long as you have REVISE BIBLE. . There is no way to revise a book WITHOUT ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION. Biblical God curse Whoever Add or Subtract from his Word.

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 got 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.

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.

So emotional.The mother too could have jumped.She might have lived though with some broken bones.

Huh, what if she was already on fire? You think the strength and coherence of thought to do that would be there?

That's why it's a risk but the only option left.

After watching that video, all I can say is thank you Jesus for saving the life of that boy. It was an awesome life saving miracle. May the soul of the mother rest in peace. May she not go from fire on earth to eternal fire in hell.

Stop giving another man's credit to christ it was the man who saved the child not christ so give credits according

Who positioned the man to be there are the right time? Why did the other guy not catch the baby? Don't spew out your ignorance on issues that take place outside the scope of the physical eyes

Rest in peace to the mother .

Same thing every mother in that condition would do without doubt.

not every mother please. Slay queen's of today don't care, they'd save their life and put in for another child.

If you actually watched the video, you will see that she was actually strong and went back inside with speed, that was why I suspected there must be another child inside and went to dig further before I found this

He still deserves some accolades. He is only bewildered that he himself could make such move and I hate to bring this into the discussion but that guy is black who just a white kid. Americans should forget race and kick out racism cos its the only thing that's keeping them from being truly great.

I think the Blanks just ran in to do what needed to be done in the situation, and didn't care what colour the kid happened to be. For all the people commenting on "saving a white kid", is it of any interest or relevance to you that the child's father is black?

Her strength and coherence of thought was to go back in to get her other child.

Nobody talking about black man saving white kid. That's not the emphasis. I only pointed to that just to let people know that color or race should stop us from being the best of ourselves, even when push comes to shove....

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.
Someone just ran to save a child dropping and look @ what you and the other yeye guy is saying. You're not ashamed that you might be useless in such situation? The guy acknowledge the mother who is the true hero for saving her child. Your statement are from a very shallow way of reasoning.
Just give God the glory that's enough , I dey always like ur comment here but u don go off key on this 1 wey I see today.

so what the father ? the man who save the baby is he not a father or potential father ?? who is the actual hero ? the diligent father who is at work providing for the family laboriously , or the mother who is at home watching porn and getting drunk while the gas was on which lit up and burnt the house as she was about lit her cigar ... putting the child in danger and carelessly throwing the baby out who if not caught could be retarded child or paraplegic or broken spinal cord or concussed brain or even dead trauma ........ OR the man from nowhere who rushed to save the child and took him to hospital immediately .....


Lets stop this feminist crap. we are humans and are equally responsible . Please have perspective..
God bless this is not a mother issue, the father would have done the same. The guy who ran to save the child was not the father.
People downplay the struggles of fathers and pretend its only mum.
