Heroes lift bus by hand, save unborn baby

In the depths of terrible sadness here is an example of how the goodness and heroics of every day men and women can be extraordinary. When a pregnant lady was hit by a van, falling into the street where she was run over by a 10,000 pound bus, dozens of pedestrians and local people rushed from their homes, businesses, cars in order to lift up the bus by HAND and free the injured woman. Sadly, she died in the hospital despite their best efforts but the doctors succeeded in delivering her baby son. Congratulations to the wonderful people who became real heroes on the street and in the hospital. Deepest condolences for the husband of the lady, and the rest of her family, who have experienced such a shocking and sad, tragic loss. There's no real comfort to offer someone who has lost the love of their life, only time makes it bearable, and the miracle of the baby son surviving.
