Special Delivery: N.Y. mail carrier catches falling baby

clipped from blogs.usatoday.com

Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Lisa Harrell was making a special delivery for the U.S. Postal Service when she caught Niales Morales after the 1-year-old fell out of a second-story window at her family's home in Albany, N.Y.

Police say the little girl was on a bed next to the window when she crawled out of the house and into the postal worker's arms.

“I was ringing the bell, ringing the bell when I noticed the upstairs window open. Then I saw the baby. Next thing you know I caught the baby in my arms,” Harrell tells the Daily Gazette.
How did this happen?
"[The mother] was in the room, turned her back," Albany Public Safety spokesman James Miller tells WXXA-TV. "We wouldn't advise any parent to put a bed up against a window of that nature."
