A chilling filming captured the moment Phillip Blanks, a
former college football player, reacted swiftly and ran to catch a
three-year-old boy who was thrown from the balcony of a burning apartment on a
third floor in Phoenix, Arizona.
The boy's mother, Rachel Long, did not survive the fire,
which occurred on July 3. Her children, an 8-year-old girl and a 3-year-old
boy, were taken to the hospital with burns but are expected to survive,
according to local reports.
Blanks, 28, a former United States Marine and wide receiver
for the Saddleback College football team in Mission Viejo, California, told
ABC7 television that the boy "spun in the air like a propeller."
