The story I just read of someone from the ninth or tenth floor throwing their baby to safety and someone on the ground being able to catch him/her safely... honestly astounding. I can't imagine ever thinking that's something you 'have to do' for their safety. Hope the mother is safe.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:
