An unusual disguise has helped a Bangkok fireman rescue an eight-year-old boy who had climbed on to a third-floor window ledge, Thai police say.

The firefighter dressed up as the comic book superhero Spider-Man in order to coax the boy, who is autistic, from his dangerous perch.

Police said teachers had alerted the fire station after the boy began crying and climbed out of a classroom window.

It was reportedly his first day at the special needs school.

Efforts by the teachers to convince the pupil back inside had failed.

But a remark by his mother about his passion for comic superheroes prompted fireman Somchai Yoosabai to rush back to the station, where he kept a Spider-Man costume in his locker.

The sight of Mr Yoosabai dressed as Spider-Man and holding a glass of juice for him, brought a big smile to the boy's face, and he promptly threw himself into the arms of his "superhero", police said.

Mr Yoosabai normally uses the costume to liven up fire drills in schools.

Us Thais are smart.

Once he landed safely with the boy, he remarked on how the FairTax would have provided ample allocation of funds in regards to proper wiring to prevent said fire.

Word :up:
 
....And Joe Quesada in a moment of corporate insanity, sues, argueing that the boy now belongs to Marvel as a slave, because without them he would be dead and that makes him there Property.
 
The world needs more news stories like this. :up:

Does anyone else find that totally insane?
 
I also have a Robin Suit.
 
Then we shall team up and fight crime together!
 
Which begs the question...

In a special needs classroom on a higher story...why are the children even ABLE to get the windows open?
 
The Robin suit was for a Halloween party. And the Spiderman Costume was for some Videos me and a friend made. I never ended up using it though.

Robin suits must be popular with Asians because we are short, have lithe builds and dark hair.
 
I happened to have had my head shaved, so I looked goofy, my twin brother was Batman, and he had hair. We should have switched, but I liked my goofiness.
