    This video is about a officer named deputy Ken Moon who was working at a correctional facility. While he was working a prisoner came to him and began to beat him up. Then out of nowhere fellow prisoners began to charge at the other prisoner and began beating him and managed to save his life. The Deputy made it out with only minor wounds and he and his fellow deputies are grateful to the inmates that helped him.

      I like your video because it shows that inmates have feelings and would the right thing at times and are not just brainless monsters like most movies portray them.

      i like your video because it shows that even though those people who are there are there for a reason. they still are human and will do something to help other human beings who are in need of help or are in danger.

    This article is about a Navy veteran, Wesley Autrey how had jumped onto the subway tracks to save Cameron Hollopeter how had fell in after suffering from a seizure, just as a number 1 train pulled into the station. Mr. Autrey had managed to press Mr. Hollopeter down in between the train and the track. I chose this story because Mr. Autrey could have easily just stood their and had been out of harms way, instead he threw him self onto the tracks in front of a moving train to safe a mans life.

    During a baseball game a player by accident threw his bat toward a fan. The fan a boy was unaware of this because he was on his phone. A man next to the boy stuck out his arm to block the bat.In the images you can see the bat was just inches from the boys face.

    As for my humanitarian story I stumbled upon an article about Angelina Jolie. When she was working on her film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, she noticed the suffering children of Cambodia where she was filming. She acted out of the kindness of her heart and since 2001, she has helped countless refugees and her work has taken her to over thirty countries. She has supplied homes for the refugees as well as providing help for the movement of refugees.

    This articles is one of the saving stories from the Red Cross. The story is about two off-duty lifeguards who are only 15 and 18 and saved little kid from drowning. These two young ladies are recently trained by the Red Cross in CPR, took over on compressions and breathing. It's very important to learn how to save people's life.

  10. I chose this video because it shows that even if you're just a kid you can be a good samaritan and help to save a life. This 17 year old boy saved an officer's life by using an AED without permission and even though it was illegal he saved the officer from dying. This was amazing to me

  11. The story I chose talks about a man named Hamilton who saved some children in a fire. In Georgia three children were trapped in the flames and smoke and he jumped in the window crawled across floor and saved the children until the fire department came to extinguish the fire, this story was very moving as he was just an ordinary person.

    I chose this video because it proves what goes around comes back around. One day, a woman performed CPR on the boy when he was younger because a baseball bat hit him in the chest and his heart stopped breathing. Recently,(the now grown up) boy performed the Heimlich maneuver on the woman and saved her life because she was choking

    I love this video because it has so many stories in one. It shows the humanity in this world . It shows that humanity exists in this hateful world. I love how one person can put their own in danger to save someone else's life. That's a beautiful thing in life... My favorite story in this video was the first one because I loved how the man didn't think of the risk he put himself in when he saved the old man from being killed to pieces by the train..

    In this news article,a person was in the tracks and his foot got stuck. A train was coming, and it hit the brakes but, someone else saved him by jumping on the tracks and dragged him to saftey. The train eveltually stopped but it would've killed the man if it weren't for the hero.
