Three babies and three women were saved by American servicemen outside an Osan Airbase in South Korea.
According to a facebook post by a man named Bill Frost, his friend Master Sergeant Daniel Raimondo rallied passersby to help.
He proudly wrote: “One of my stellar Airmen / teammates, MSgt Daniel Raimondo, helped save 3 women and 3 babies from this burning building outside Osan Airbase, Korea, by rallying folks on the street to help him hold a blanket while convincing mothers to toss their babies and then themselves from four stories to escape the flames. You're awesome Danny!”
The heroic man managed to talk the mothers into dropping their babies four stories into a big blanket to safety before jumping into the blanket as well.
The astounding scene was captured on video and has since gone viral, garnering nearly 160,000 views and 2,000 shares as of this writing.
