"Blind 'Superman' Saves Colorado Teenager After Fall From Horse"
Uhhh, come again?? I needed to know more about this. Seems a teen aged Colorado ranch hand was thrown from her horse and as a result fractured her skull and bruising her brain. She was unable to walk, and lay where she fell, screaming for help.
Enter Superman. In this tale, Superman is not Clark Kent, but rather the owner of the ranch the accident occurred on, Keith Day. Mr. Day has been legally blind since birth. He can distinguish between dark and light, and some vague large shapes (think of a very blurry, vaguely horse or truck shaped object). Somehow, he was able to follow the sound of her screams to reach her. He was able to check her for noticeable breaks, and then somehow managed to carry her hundreds of yards, at one point crossing over a barbed wire fence, to where emergency personnel could reach her.
Pretty jaw-dropping stuff, huh? Talk about having a guardian angel.
(Not to put a damper on a heartwarming story, but it does kinda makes a good argument that one should always wear a helmet. Just saying.)
Wow.... that is pretty incredible!
