This is worse


Apologies for starting this blog in such a morbid fashion but I had to show this. Until you're a parent I don't think it's really possible to understand just how painful a picture this is.

Here's the story.

Could you imagine being the parent forced to choose between dropping your daughter 4 stories or keeping her with you in a building that's going up in flames? Could you imagine the pressure of being the person entrusted with catching her? Could you imagine the rest of your life if you were the designated catcher... and dropped her? I can't.

Thankfully she was caught. She survived. And the parents survived, too. Not everyone in the building was so lucky.

Chilling photo. At first, I couldn't make out the image of the baby. When I recognized it as a baby, I had to shut my eyes!
