A 16-month-old girl survived unhurt after falling from a fourth-floor hotel balcony in Orlando, Florida, when British tourist Helen Beard caught her in the pool area below.
Beard saw a child hanging from the balcony and ran to a spot directly under her and watched as she fell, striking the third-floor balcony on her way down. Beard, 44, said she caught Jah-Nea Myles and broke her fall before the child slipped from her arms and hit the ground.
The child's mother, Helena Myles, said Beard was "an angel sent from heaven".
