Life or Death...

This story really moved me....what would you do in this situation? Baby Onur is 8 month old, was dropped out of a window by his uncle of a 3 story burning apartment building in Germany. His uncle's last thought was...

"I looked him in the eyes and he looked at me as if to say 'go for it.' I kissed Onur one last time and then I let him fall."


The main wooden staircase had collapsed so they had to go out through the window. Nine people were perished, including Onur's 2-year-old older brother. Sources say his mother was also the nine that were perished, but yet to be confirmed. His uncle had survived the fire...and also Onur. A firefighter had caught Onur with only a piece of jacket outside the burning building.




I was thinking...what was going on in that little baby's mind? It just takes me back to 9/11 as I was watching TV...when all these people started jumping out of the Twin Tower. Was a very horrifying and scary moment...so, i can't even imagine how his uncle is feeling...or even that little baby...

That's what makes me realize that these firefighters has a very, very hard job to take on. Think about it...they have one of the biggest most toughest job to do. People's lives are in their hands...To all the firefighters out there....much respect to all of you!
