Spider-man saves student

Mar 24, 2009 | No Comments | @andrewmarcec

A Thai firefighter donned a Spider-Man outfit to coax an autistic child off a balcony.

The eight-year-old was afraid of attending his first day of school, and called the authorities when they weren’t able to bring him inside.

Upon speaking with his mother, she revealed he loved superheroes…upon hearing this the firefighter rushed back to the station to change into his outfit (much like the real spidey does).

The child ran into his arms under the reassurance that no monsters would get him in school.  Thus keeping alive the notion that “everybody gets one” from spidey, too bad that kid had to use his when he was 8.

And if you thing this firefighter is weird becasue he just has a spidey costume lying around, let it be known that he also has an Ultraman costume too.

Would I every own these costumes…that’s a definite maybe.  However, I wouldn’t use them to save people, I would run around in the streets battling imaginary monsters and pissing people off.
