Teacher heroism saves a boy from death

A primary teacher has been hailed a hero after jumping into a 50ft-height waterfall to save the life of a six-year-old child.

Lisa Longman,33, was rescued by Seattle´s Firefighters Unit from the waters of Saint Perito´s River, next to Manchula´s City, on the outskirts of Seattle. This lady had apparently jumped into the frozen water after one of her students, James Knocks, had fell due to a hole in the ground. Parents claimed that "Jaimie doesn´t know how to swim yet", and that "he would have drowned if she hadn´t gone after him".

She neither knew how tall the fall was nor if she could rescue him. But she dived in after him in a split second after he vanished into the cliff. She had to fight for both their lives as they ended up in deep water in the flooded precipice. For more than three hours, in the near frosty water, she kept the child´s head above the surface while she battled to stay afloat. Doctors stated: "it was her body´s warmth what maintained the boy alive". Police chief, Tom Henderson, said: "We got the little boy into a belt first. He wasn´t crying, just trembling".

Both were taken to the Central Hospital where they were diagnosed with hypothermia but were slightly injured. Lisa refused to talk publically as she only affirmed: “I am definetely not a hero, I just did what anyone else would do in that situation”.

Wattman

This is the story about Jeremy, then called Wattman, the young boy who after being electrocuted at the age of 10, became one of the most powerful superheroes in the planet. Nowadays, at the age of 24, this busy charming young man wakes up every morning with the only purpose of saving more lives. Anyway, let’s go back 4 years when he still lived with his grandmother Stephanie and her dog ironically called Batman. As his identity was a complete secret, he had to go out on tiptoes every night in order to avoid the explanation to his grandmother about the reason of leaving the house at an early morning hour. That night, it was Christma’s Eve, so he predicted it to  be quiet and peaceful (criminals don’t tend to go out on this kind of dates). He was walking around the neighbourhood when he suddenly heard a dog barking non-stop as if he had seen Shrek. Jeremy ran towards the nearer house where the barking came from. As he walked through the front yard, the barks ceased. He deeply knew something was wrong at that place. He took a glance at the inside of the house but saw nothing. Abruptly, a cry was heard. He could tell that it didn’t come from the house and neither from the garden. He remained silent for a couple of minutes and waited for a new signal. Finally, he heard someone screaming desperately from underfoot. Shocked by this situation he easily understood that someone was under the surface. With his electric powers he made a hole on the ground and then rapidly got closer to it. This delicate white hand went out of the dirt begging for help. A young girl had been buried alive by what she said was a beast with the size of a bear. He never got to catch the perpetrator for such crime even if he tried to, but that night he had saved a girl who was destined to die alive!
