Absolutely amazing story<\/a> of a child who was dropped out of a window by his father who was trying to save him from an apartment fire. They’re not sure if the child’s parents survived. I can’t imagine what went through that father’s mind as his child slipped through his fingers and he watched him plunge to the ground. I hope that he saw that his baby was caught by a police officer.<\/p>\n
