Baby falls into freezing sea, but this guy heroically saves the day

1/28/2013

A refreshing seaside walk turned into a horrific nightmare for one British mom when a gust of wind swept the stroller holding her 6-month-old baby into the icy waters. Mom's shrieks were answered like a prayer by dockmaster George Reeder, 63, who sped over on his bike, saw the upside-down buggy floating away and dived into the freezing water. Reeder towed the stroller to the wall, someone helped attach a rope and haul it up, and another passerby administered CPR until an ambulance arrived. The baby's now out of intensive care, and Reeder's being hailed as a hero. He insists, "Most people would do the same thing." Talk about random acts of kindness. [Source]
