I went over that bridge an hour before it happened and when we Heard about the crash on the news me and some friends road our bikes to the bridge and saw the cars it was crazy I frogot my phone on the beach so I wasn’t able to get photos but my friends did but was crazy. And when we were eating at dead Freddys later that night alomst the hole restaurant was talking about it
You are a "True Hero" Jonathan. It take a lot of courage to do what you did. You saved a life. Special recognition to your daughter for keeping a cool head and backing you up.
He didn't even think twice, he saw the baby had turned onto her stomach & was drowning. It was all he needed. Telling his daughter to wait for the fire department & police. He simply jumped off a bridge & crashed into the murky water. Within moments he is holding the baby in his arms. I'm surprised the baby survived the fall as well. This man is a hero.
This happened right behind my wife and I as we were leaving OC that Sunday. What no one is saying is how darn cold that water was. I'm sure he didn't feel it from the adrenaline rush but that needs to be said. This guy awesome.
You are right. It is a miracle and don’t you ever think for a second God didn’t place, the right man in the right place, at the right time, to save an innocent. I also think upon reflecting that is exactly what the policeman are acknowledging... God will use willing servants.. Be a willing servant.. We could use more of them...
Thank you to all the service men and women in the rescue field First Responders Fire Fighters, Police Officers...EMTS...who put their own life on the line every single day ....Thank You and God Bless you All 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💙💙💙💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Whoever the two people are who put a thumbs down on this need to be ashamed of themselves. What is wrong with you? God bless this man and his family and the little girl and her family. That act took real courage.
Wow! What an amazing rescue! Plus, an accident victim saved the baby that could have drowned if he hadn’t jumped and saved her. This is a great group of people and we need more news coverage on these stories. I’m impressed with the love and care of everyone including the captain or whatever rank/ position he is in, of the official that is running this news gathering. He got extra water and napkins and patted the hero on his shoulder. He seems to care so much and value all the responders and the families involved. Great goodness! Who is cutting up onions? Has to be onions making my eyes water.
My daughter Kelsey saved her brother in ocean city md when he was about 10 and she was around 21. He had got caught up in a riptide and the lifeguards didn’t noticed but my daughter swam over and literally saved her little brother. They were both weeping when they got out and I was so thankful to my daughter and the good lord above. He would have drowned I love my daughter so much and to think she didn’t think twice she was also entangled in the riptide but she knew what to do to save them both. God bless that little girl and the man and his family who saved her precious life. It’s like everyone was where they needed to be when this terrible accident happened.
What makes this even more shocking is he jumped off a 30 foot bridge into water only 4 or 5 feet deep putting his own safety at risk because of how shallow that water was! Impressive act!
Praise God for this man not being afraid of touching a person in a accident and not caring about covid or his own safety thank you sir may Jesus bless you abundantly and your family
I would say god knew and this was definitely a miracle and some brave man jumping over the bridge but he saw her turn over on her stomach and that must’ve been heart wrenching. He’s a hero and family that saved the man from drowning thank you god bless you.
So proud of the daughter for doing what had to be done (even though her phone only had 5% left). She is a hero, too. Jonathan, that was truly a heroic action. Praying for the little girl.
I felt him when he talked about hearing the sirens and knew someone was there for his own baby. This all probably happened so quick , but he knew he had to leave his own baby to save another. This is a beautiful story and im grateful to hear this awesome act of humanity and compassion for this babygirl. My heart also goes out to his daughter because I know she was probably so scared and proud of her dad all at the same time.
Not all heroes have capes! Some have water wings! God bless you for your heroism sir and young lady I’m am so glad your dad is well and alive and with you! I hope with all the accolades someone got him a new pair of shoes!
Very inspiring to see this humble man lay it all on the line to save the life of that baby. I'm moved by the love that this family has for each other. He was already his daughters hero, now he's a hero to all of us.
God bless you Mr. Bauer. Your courage, fast thinking, and willingness to put your own life at risk to save another was extraordinary. You are a true hero.
Humanity should take note here.....this is how we should be living our lives. Be kind to others and look out for those that need help. We all can’t jump off bridges and save lives, but we can all still make a difference in someone’s day, a simple smile can change things for someone. Cheers to this gentleman for putting aside his fears and risking injury to save that child. Such a beautiful and selfless act of kindness and courage.
Thank you You are a Real Hero you risked your life to save another a little girl at that so selfless you are brave and your daughter was so scared for you but now she knows her Daddy is a real Hero Superman :-) we need more people like you
im crying watching this........this man is a true hero....he only instinct was to save a life........love this man and his family....ty god for looking down on this man and all of the other people there......
The chief said it perfectly he did a selfless act, and is a hero and doing it from the heart is the way it should be with anything we do. Thàt baby is alive bc of him. God bless them all...
Why isn't there some type of medal for these kind of people. Call it the Presidential Medal of Heroism. For civilians who risk life and limb to safe there fellow man.
That car seat must not have been properly installed. Away too many people are careless about car seat installation. I am so glad this all worked out. He knew that water - knew it was shallow. Amazing he survived the dive. Congrats!!!!
@Sunny Quackers I have heard a lot of males on forums that are MRA or mgtow saying they wouldn't save any child out of fear of being arrested for child abduction.
What a great man and little girl! This man didnt pull out his phone and start recording and didnt hesitate to jump off a bridge! He just acted! He is a hero and set a great example for his daughter! I'm proud of him! Our first responders dont get enough thank yous either...thank you for responding and being heros as well!! Prayers for the baby girl! This could have ended so much worse and I'm so thankful it didnt. This is the kid of ending to a real life experience I like to see! The individuals in the boat should be more recognized too! They got the baby and the man out of the water and quickly got them to the first responders!! They didnt pull out their phones...they just reacted as well and deserve just as much thank you from the community and should have their faces shown for heroism as well!
THIS is a hero. People giving out $500 to random people or bottles of water are NOT heroes, not even close. They're merely pandering for social media clicks. It's too bad that for every 10000 dash cam videos of car crashes there is 1 - just **ONE** - of these stories, when we all know that heroes are not rare. They act rather than film, though, so don't get the recognition they deserve. One question though... what of the child and the child's parent(s)? Where were they?
Jonathan looks a lot like Lee Greenwood Singer God Bless The USA 🇺🇸...Hero God Bless this man ♥️ God used Jonathan like a guardian Angel for that baby....
Gee! I bet Fisher’s Corn is really delicious! Now I wanna try some! (Seriously?!! Product placement in pressers now?! That is a new low. ) Major love and appreciation to this man.
I guess its because of the mask mandate. If you go though the vid the spokes person says something about take your mask off because we are eating, may be wrong but thats my take on it
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR JUST BEING SO SELFLESS IN THIS SITUATION YOURE SO AMAZING AND A GIFT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO THAT DAY HELPING OUT ❤
This is what the real United States of America is built on. We need more exposure on this kind of action.
I went over that bridge an hour before it happened and when we Heard about the crash on the news me and some friends road our bikes to the bridge and saw the cars it was crazy I frogot my phone on the beach so I wasn’t able to get photos but my friends did but was crazy. And when we were eating at dead Freddys later that night alomst the hole restaurant was talking about it
They won’t tho cuz it’s positive news. They only like negative news now adays.
You're right-- selfless bravery...and product placement. Totally American.
Amen!! to that compadre!!
Actually it was built on chattel slavery for 400 years plus, but what he did was amazing and heroic...
If anyone ever deserves a go fund me it’s this man ! God bless you sir
I definitely agree and the the little girls family needs a new car I hope and pray they are all okay so scary
You are a "True Hero" Jonathan. It take a lot of courage to do what you did. You saved a life. Special recognition to your daughter for keeping a cool head and backing you up.
This is the best story I've ever heard in my life. I am so impressed with that man who jumped in the water. Thank you so much for this interview.
He didn't even think twice, he saw the baby had turned onto her stomach & was drowning. It was all he needed. Telling his daughter to wait for the fire department & police. He simply jumped off a bridge & crashed into the murky water. Within moments he is holding the baby in his arms. I'm surprised the baby survived the fall as well. This man is a hero.
He’s trying hard not cry he saved that little girls life
This happened right behind my wife and I as we were leaving OC that Sunday. What no one is saying is how darn cold that water was. I'm sure he didn't feel it from the adrenaline rush but that needs to be said. This guy awesome.
This is a story I listen to over and over and I still find it hard to believe. It's a miracle. what a strong hero! thankfully he didn't panic
You are right. It is a miracle and don’t you ever think for a second God didn’t place, the right man in the right place, at the right time, to save an innocent. I also think upon reflecting that is exactly what the policeman are acknowledging... God will use willing servants.. Be a willing servant.. We could use more of them...
This man is a hero. Good karma will come to him.
Thank God for his bravery , god bless him and his family
What a beautiful human being. We should all aspire to be this kind. God bless you Jonathan Bauer and God bless your daughter!
Thank you to all the service men and women in the rescue field First Responders Fire Fighters, Police Officers...EMTS...who put their own life on the line every single day ....Thank You and God Bless you All 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💙💙💙💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The people on boat are heroes too
Well they sure helped but their life was never in danger
A team effort saved the babies life. Thank You
Nope. It's all his. He owns it.
I mean, he jumped off a bridge & saved that child. If not for his quick thinking & bravery, she may not be here today. He is a hero!
Whoever the two people are who put a thumbs down on this need to be ashamed of themselves. What is wrong with you? God bless this man and his family and the little girl and her family. That act took real courage.
Democrats
That’s why we need t pray for America
Wow! What an amazing rescue! Plus, an accident victim saved the baby that could have drowned if he hadn’t jumped and saved her.

Has to be onions making my eyes water.
What an amazing person and family right place right time
Your one heck of a man, one major DUDE in my book.
Every now and then God remembers his children..and we also thank God.
God threw that baby into the water, that guy pulled the baby out. Credit to the guy. Shame on god.
Not all heroes wear capes. Well done, sir. May God continue to bless you and your family.
We would love to zoom call and interview this hero on Two Old People On A Couch RUclips channel !!!! This guy is a true hero.
He is a angel that’s awesome 👍😃

Great job
Respect to this super hero 🦸♂️
Thank goodness the police didn't perceive him as a threat.
@Sunny Quackers I have heard a lot of males on forums that are MRA or mgtow saying they wouldn't save any child out of fear of being arrested for child abduction.
What a great man and little girl! This man didnt pull out his phone and start recording and didnt hesitate to jump off a bridge! He just acted! He is a hero and set a great example for his daughter! I'm proud of him! Our first responders dont get enough thank yous either...thank you for responding and being heros as well!! Prayers for the baby girl!

One question though... what of the child and the child's parent(s)? Where were they?
my fav people...all of them..
Do you guys think Fishers popcorn is some kind of sponsorship lol
Maybe Fishers is rewarding a hero With a truck load of product and the hero is sharing.
@Sunny Quackers When I saw this I made a batch of caramel corn.
Seems like they covered it.
Jonathan looks a lot like Lee Greenwood Singer God Bless The USA 🇺🇸...Hero God Bless this man ♥️
God used Jonathan like a guardian Angel for that baby....
Celebrate brave men!!
Is real men and hero
What an angel!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️
This man displayed the virtue of fortitude.
GOD was with him. He was meant to be there and safely hit the water and rescue the baby
The greatest thing I have EVER watched on RUclips! Amazing act of valor and selflessness.
Wow! A true American 🇺🇸 hero! And your daughter was such a brave young lady! God bless you both. 👏🌸
Great man
😭 😭 😭 thank you!!!!!!
this man cares, how so many today don't, yet this man gave everything, even his heart. :)
how can u not love this man no matter the color
Gee! I bet Fisher’s Corn is really delicious! Now I wanna try some! (Seriously?!! Product placement in pressers now?! That is a new low. ) Major love and appreciation to this man.
I guess its because of the mask mandate. If you go though the vid the spokes person says something about take your mask off because we are eating, may be wrong but thats my take on it
I was just thinking the same thing. really tacky. they should be ashamed of themselves.
It’s really good though 👍
The victim was in shock.
that citizens deserve the medal of bravery. that's absolute self-sacrifice to save others.
sir istood for you and (S'o'l )shout out loud HOOUURRAAAA.
Who was the toddler that he rescued? and how is she and her family doing now?
we can only hope to have this kind of reaction to a tragic situation. Cool guy!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR JUST BEING SO SELFLESS IN THIS SITUATION
YOURE SO AMAZING AND A GIFT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO THAT DAY HELPING OUT ❤
Where is the family of the baby?
Why isn't the family thanking this man publicly😮
Thank God this has no thumbs downs.
Dammit, there’s one now. Probably just to spite me.
I’d like to think we’d all do this. Even an old burn out like me.
God bless you!
God builds and puts these types of people in position to do his will at the time. There are no coincidences. ALL things are for a purpose.
What a great rescue! Love it🇺🇸❤️
Where are the parents????
Amazing
How could you live with yourself if you saw the baby and didn't jump in?
God is good.
Not all heroes wear a cape.
it'll be nice when he reunites with her when she's older ... I'm sure he's now a part of her family no doubt
