  • The hero who saved a toddler after she was ejected from a truck off a bridge said he didn't think twice about jumping into the water after her. The hero, identified only as Jonathan, spoke Friday at a press conference from a Maryland fire station. Authorities called him a “humble hero.” Jonathan initially said he wanted to remain anonymous, until he knew for sure that the baby was okay. One of the first responders to the scene told Inside Edition that he shook the hero's hand and thanked him. #InsideEdition

      I agree. That's what gets me about hearing women brag all the time about women's "maternal instinct", being "Mama bears" etc. How many women would have jumped off that bridge to save their OWN baby, let alone someone else's?? Not many!!! Most would stand their screaming and yelling, "My BABY!!" at the men who were nearby, and pointing at their child until a man jumped in and saved it. LOL.

I'm not a father, and I'd have jumped in without question. There wasn't time to go to the end of the bridge and try to swim out to the baby!! Most women on the other hand... would be screaming for somebody to do something--which usually means, some MAN. Lol.

      The jump was evidently 30 feet into a body of water with all kinds of potentially dangerous currents flowing through it. Your local high dive is three meters, so we're talking three times that, and so unless he belly flopped, which apparently he didn't, he had to swim a good ways back to the top before he could make the rescue.
      Nah... He doesn't need any award other than being able to pat himself on his back for the rest of his life, knowing that he's a badass with a giant set of brass balls. Yep. For guys like him, that's enough.

      She probably didn't know that a baby fell off the boat and saw her dad get out of the car and jumped. I would be extremely scared too plus she's young and most probably don't know what's going on half the time.

    seeing these strangers come together to save this baby they never even knew existed the day before this, but they all know how important it is to save her precious life. We need to protect the children. They can’t protect themselves. It’s hard holding in the tears for this one. What a beautiful thing.

    I must say, I’m usually not a person who cries. However, this definitely made me shed tears! I’m a mother of a 4 year old and I can’t even think of my baby being hurt. This man is the true definition of a hero! He didn’t want notoriety, he just wanted that baby to be ok! He didn’t hesitate nor care about any danger he was potentially putting himself in! It’s people like him that this world needs more of!
