Life Imitates Art

My brother just sent me a link to this story:
Marvin Goldstein was a toddler in 1945 when he experienced a catch rivaling any you'd see at a baseball game.

"The windows at that time did not have window guards," Goldstein remembers. "I leaned out, and I had one hand on the window inside and the other hand I was leaning out. [I] let go and fell five stories."

Sal Mauriello, a barber, was coming home early from work that day. He heard a woman scream and saw her point up to the window. Mauriello took of his coat and used it as a net to catch Goldstein in his arms.

Pretty cool, huh?
