Real-Life Spider-Man Scales Building and Rescues Child: WATCH!
Mamoudou Gassama is a freaking hero. In fact, he"s being compared to one fictional superhero in particular for his very real heroic deed.
With a child dangling off of a balcony, he took action and raced up the building — by climbing its exterior.
His extraordinary actions saved the child. And his good deed is not going unrewarded.
Mamoudou Gassama is 22 years old. He is an undocumented Malian immigrant to France.
On Saturday afternoon, he became famous for the best of reasons.
In under 40 seconds, he scaled the facade of a Parisian building to rescue a small child, who was hanging on for dear life from the fifth floor balcony.
This is a feat that many have hailed as superhuman, and some have likened him to the Marvel superhero, Spider-Man.
But Mamadou is a human, and his actions show not only the potential of the human body, but the motivations of human compassion for total strangers.
In under a minute, mamadou had lifted the 4-year-old child to the safety of the balcony.
The crowd thta watched Mamoudou climb was impressed. And within hours, the video of his heroics had racked up millions of views.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo tweeted:
"Congratulations to him for his bravery that saved the life of a child last night. I was pleased to speak with him today by telephone, in order to thank him warmly."
In a follow-up tweet, Hidalgo added:
"He explained to me that he had arrived from Mali a few months ago, dreaming of building his life here."
Her reply commended him for his wonderful works.
"I replied that his heroic gesture is an example for all citizens and that the city of Paris will obviously be committed to supporting it in its efforts to establish itself in France."
Hidalgo was not the only French politician to take note of his selfless act.
French President Emmanuel Macron invited Mamoudou to meet with him.
"I just didn"t have time to think, I ran across the road to go and save him," Gassama told Macron during their sit-down.
He credits his faith for giving him the strength to scale the building.
"I just climbed up and thank God, God helped me."
He says that, as he went up, his confidence increased.
"The more I climbed the more I had the courage to climb up higher, that"s it."
Those are humble words from a compassionate man.
Macron heaped praise upon Mamoudou,s aying:
"You saved a child. Without you, no one knows what would have become of him."
Probably nothing good, though we would point out that others were trying to help.
"You need courage and the capability to do that."
Macron gave Mamoudou a medal and certificate for his bravery.
He also offered him French citizenship — and a job with Paris fire brigade.
Mamoudou transformed too lives that day — stopping one life from ending at 4, and making his dream of a new life in France into a reality.
As you can imagine, people have some serious questions about how a 4-year-old child could be left to dangle from a balcony like this in the first place.
The boy"s mother was not in Paris at the time.
Police have questioned the boy"s father over why exactly he left his 4-year-old unattended.

Man Dressed as Elsa Rescues Police Wagon from Snow
Hey, the cold never bothered her anyway, right?
Video of a drag queen dressed like Queen Elsa of Arendelle has gone viral after a blizzard blanketed Boston on Tuesday night and this unexpected hero came to the rescue of a stuck police truck.
It all started with city resident Chris Haynes eating tacos at South End restaurant The Gallows.
When he took a peek outside to see how much snow was falling, Haynes was taken aback to find a man dressed like a certain Frozen character helping out Boston"s finest.
"Yup, that just happened," Haynes wrote as a caption on Facebook upon sharing the video, which has been viewed over 3.9 million times.
He added:
"Drag ‘Elsa’ just single-handedly pushed out a stuck police wagon. Only in the South End and The Gallows."
According to The Boston Globe, the Elsa impersonator was Jason Triplett, a 37-year-old lawyer from Boston who had no real motivation for donning this costume aside from making his friends laugh.
In the viral footage, Triplett repeatedly tries to free the wagon from the snow until, at long last, he succeeds.
“That’s what makes the video so special, I think,” Haynes told Boston.com. “Because of his persistence.”
One might (annoyingly) say that, when it came to this task, Triplett refused to LET IT GO until he pushed the van to freedom.
Everyone inside the restaurant cheered loudly after Triplett accomplished his feat, which prompted a curtsy from the pretend queen.
“The officers involved were especially grateful for the help and would like to thank the Elsa-impersonator for the assist,” Boston Police Officer James Kenneally, a spokesman for the department, told the aforementioned newspaper.
“Everyone will be over it by noon,” Triplett himself told People Magazine of his fame. “But if this is my 15 minutes, I would like to leverage it to meet Adam Rippon.”
HA!
