On the morning of July 3 local time, Rachel Long, 30, was at home with her 8-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son, but unfortunately encountered a fire. Witnesses said that Rachel was already on fire at the time, but she made a wise decision to throw her son off the balcony, hoping the people below could catch him.
Unfortunately, Rachel ended up in flames. But her son and daughter were successfully rescued and sent to medical treatment. Although both of them suffered severe burns, they were not in danger of life.
Bronx, a 28-year-old man who rushed to the front of the building to catch Rachel's son, was the hero of the fire. He was a former marine. While attending college in California, he was a member of the American football school team.
He said, "Seeing him (little boy) spinning and falling like a propeller in the air, I didn't think much at the moment, it was almost an instinctive reaction."
Bronx said, "I know how to catch the ball. I just try to catch him. His head fell firmly into my arms." He also said that Rachel was the real hero and sacrificed herself to save the children.
