The story below went up several weeks ago. A story at this link reports that Mr. Santiago has succumbed to his injuries.

This kind of thing remains high-risk, and this is a case in point. Last reported in critical condition with serious head injuries, Mr. Santiago was able to get another person clear, but did not leave enough time to get himself to safety. A link contained in this article leads to a bit more information. Hopefully Mr. Santiago will recover.

Every day regular people decide to risk their own lives in order to help other people who are in trouble. They do it without any formal training and with no thought of reward. They each have their own reasons. The purpose of this blog is to point a few of them out and try to learn from their experiences. We each hope that someone would be there for us. Are we prepared to be there for someone else?
