[QUOTE]PORTLAND, Maine — A Maine logger helped save an infant from drowning when he crawled into a car that was upside-down in water and used a knife to cut the straps off her car seat and pull her out, police said.
The baby wasn't breathing and another bystander performed CPR, reviving the girl, police said.
Leo Moody, 44, of Kingman, was driving home from work Monday when he saw a flipped SUV in a culvert in Kossuth Township, about 175 miles northeast of Portland. Moody said he called 911 and rushed to the vehicle.
Moody said one of the SUV's passengers told him her baby was in the back seat, and he swam to the vehicle and cut through seatbelts to free the seat. He said he then took the 3-month-old to the banks of the culvert and handed the baby and seat to another passer-by, Wade Shorey of Greenbush. Shorey performed CPR on the child, resuscitating her, Moody said. [url]http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/police-man-crawled-into-sunken-car-saved-baby/ar-BBeFF3M[/url][/QUOTE]
This is just one of those stories where you want to find the guy and give him a pat on the back.
For a second I read the title as "Police man crawled into sunken car, saved by a baby" and I was extremely confused and imagined a toddler pulling this 200 pound man out of a sinking car and swimming to shore.

no one cares
Loggers are good folk by default. They just wanna make an honest living and help out a fellow person.
this guy is a saint
he deserves a medal
My parents know the Moody's.
Several generations of my family grew up a short bit from Kingman.
Mostly good people in the area, where you learn to depend on each other. It's remote and police are 30 minutes away, assuming perfect weather, no traffic, and they aren't busy.
