Thanksgiving Eve took a drastic turn for a Bronx family who went from preparing Thursday's meal to jumping from their burning building. AliBaumanTV spoke to good Samaritans who helped rescue them.
"I smelled the smoke, and I heard screams," Ashanta Smith told CBS2's Ali Bauman."Get to the front door, a man was coming out with the two kids in the smoke, so I threw the shirt on, went in there, tried to put the fire out. Smoke pushed me back. At that point, we had people on the top floor," he said."The flames were coming out the windows. I mean, it was really, really intense," neighbor Mitzi Gonzalez said."I see the little girl sticking out the window.
"I went to them and I hugged them. 'Are you alright? Is there anybody else in the house?' They were happy, they gave me a hug. I said I love you, they said they love me. We don't know each other, but I love them," Valle said.
