Mother Tosses Baby From Burning Building

Mother Tosses Baby From Burning Building
NEW YORK
2005, 12 15
A mother, cornered by smoke and flames, prayed as she tossed her 1-month-old baby from a third-floor window to the crowd below.
"I said, 'God, please save my son,'" a weeping Tracinda Foxe, 30, told the Daily News in Thursday editions. "I prayed that someone would catch him and save his life."
Her prayers were answered by Felix Vazquez, 39, a Housing Authority supervisor and former lifeguard, who made the catch and gave the baby, Eric Guzman, mouth to mouth resuscitation.
"I didn't think," Vazquez, a father of three, said after the Wednesday morning rescue. "I just reacted."
Moments later, Firefighters D.J. Martin and Bobby Eustace burst into the burning apartment, found a hysterical Foxe and gave her an oxygen mask. Mother and son were treated at a hospital and released.
The new hero, by the way, is also a catcher on his local baseball team.
