Kyyle23 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 http://screenrant.com/sr-picks-real-life-s...g-boy-rob-6322/ A Bangkok firefighter threw on his super-hero costume to save the day! Sounds like something from a comic, but this happened in real life. The incident began when teachers of a special needs school contacted the fire station when one of their young students started crying and climbed out on to a ledge of one of the classroom windows. The school staff and emergency response people were unable to convince the 8-year old autistic boy back inside. While this was happening, the mother of the child made a comment about the boy’s love of comic superheroes and thank God she did because that remark led to the epic rescue – this is where it gets interesting. The mother’s words set off a light bulb in firefighter Somchai Yoosabai’s head and he sped his way back to the fire station to put on his superhero attire – A Spider-Man costume that he had kept in his locker (he keeps it to help teach fire drills in schools). Using the red and blue tights (and a glass of juice) he was able to talk the child into walking into his arms and into safety. The hero later told local news: “I told him Spider-Man is here to rescue you, no monsters are going to attack you, and I told him to walk slowly towards me, as running could be dangerous” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
