It is amazing how in the blink of an eye a situation can go from "everyday" to "life-or-death." And there is NO instruction book! When that happened in front of Mr. Walsh, he didn't hesitate. He stripped down and jumped into frigid waters attempting to help a family get clear of their sinking car. He was able to come away with only one, but God bless him, he did all he could.

Will Edwards Singlehandedly Pulls Woman from Burning Car
With the crowd repeatedly warning him to get clear of the car for his own safety, this guy could not bring himself to abandon the woman inside. He kept at his efforts until they succeeded, even as the flames spread. "I wasn't prepared to just leave her there." Wow!

7-year-old Jyoti Chalavadi Saves Her Brother and Sister from the Flames
Nothing is more inspiring and humbling to me than a tiny child recognizing the danger faced by someone else and going to help. The article at the link below is about something that happened over a month ago, but it is no less inspiring. A 7-year-old girl sustained major burns pulling her younger siblings from a burning home. Jyoti, you are my hero!
