Man Who Dove Off Bridge to Save Baby ‘Didn’t Think Twice’

The hero who saved a toddler after she was ejected from a truck off a bridge said he didn't think twice about jumping into the water after her. The hero, identified only as Jonathan, spoke Friday at a press conference from a Maryland fire station. Authorities called him a “humble hero.” Jonathan initially said he wanted to remain anonymous, until he knew for sure that the baby was okay. One of the first responders to the scene told Inside Edition that he shook the hero's hand and thanked him. #InsideEdition

I agree. That's what gets me about hearing women brag all the time about women's "maternal instinct", being "Mama bears" etc. How many women would have jumped off that bridge to save their OWN baby, let alone someone else's?? Not many!!! Most would stand their screaming and yelling, "My BABY!!" at the men who were nearby, and pointing at their child until a man jumped in and saved it. LOL.

THAT is a TRUE act of heroism. This is straight from a movie. Don't even question it. Just jump. Wow.. Im speechless. An American Hero? No. Just a hero. He would do this for anybody.. Not just Americans.

I’m looking out my window and staring at the bridge right now. (Ocean Pines) It’s only 5 feet at its deepest. He’s lucky it was at the very beginning of the bridge “only” 20 feet up. He could not have survived the jump just a little further up the roadway.

[@ccouch1988]

@@CharlieTheAstronaut I'm not sure the point of your comment. If your trying to be funny or take away from the heroics actions of this man. But I do not find it to be funny at all. He didn't have to jump in that water or even get out of his car or even care but he did. He saved a life. Not sure what was so funny to you, at all. His daughter was clearly touched by his actions and was scared at the same time. Children care about their parents so I am sure this little girl was worried cause children do not always understand the whole situation in the moment. But again I'm not sure the point of your comment.

[@eleventwelve2650]

She probably didn't know that a baby fell off the boat and saw her dad get out of the car and jumped. I would be extremely scared too plus she's young and most probably don't know what's going on half the time.
