Embedded video in the article shows the dramatic throwing and catching of a baby. The building was on fire.

Looks like the "baby-tosser" didn't really wait for someone to catch the baby.

That kid is lucky.

The mother threw the baby at the last second. The mother died in the fire.
That's what I read earlier today.

My vote goes to D’Artagnan Alexander. It’s an incredible feat to catch the three year old, but it’s something else to run into that building and up three flights of steps to rescue the 8 year old.

Yeah I actually read the rest of the article after I posted; holy shit what a scenario. Tie vote then.

What kind of shitty fire protection do these buildings have that makes such heroic deeds necessary? There should be a proper escape path.
