Man Catches Girl As She Falls 3 Floors KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - A 2-year-old girl fell three stories from a resort walkway and safely into the arms of a man who had been reading a book by the pool and raced to save her. The momentum sent both crashing into a bush, but the girl only suffered a bump and some scratches Saturday. ``I just happened to be at the right place at the right time,'' Alan Burns, 43, said Wednesday. Burns said he was enjoying his weekend getaway at the Dorsan Suites when he heard a woman screaming. He looked up to see the toddler hanging from a railing on an outdoor walkway. Burns and the woman ran underneath the child when the girl let go and fell into Burns' arms. The baby's mother showed up several minutes later and was arrested on a charge of child neglect, police said. The woman was released on $1,000 bail.
Great catch! the Astros sitting poolside had no comment on the event, other than to say they didn't get a good jump and that it was a screamer.
WOW, that's a neat story. Glad the guy made the catch, would have been horrible if he suffered the known Rockets problem, Butterfingers.
And thank you for capitalizing Chance. I feel honored. Seriously, you gotta try having this name! I have been capitalizing it in every sentence for 20 years! Chance
The girl was admitted to a hospital for observation after suffering scrapes and bruises following the touchdown celebration by Alan Burns. He was subsequently fined $15,000 by the league after pulling a Sharpie out of his sock and autographing her forehead.
Chance: As a fellow artist, why why why? IMO DaDakota started the idea of signing every post, and that was OK. Then more people started doing it. etc., etc. But you? You're better than that.
