MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — They’re calling it the Miracle at Mount Baldy.
Michigan City firefighters were honored for the incredible rescue effort that saved Nathan Woessner’s life, last month. The 6 year old boy from Sterling, Illinois was buried alive in at least 11 feet of sand at the Indiana dunes.
Firefighter Anthony Stahoviak said “You start digging and after a while you start to wonder, where is he? Because you’re digging far and you don’t find anything yet. It was stressful.” Emergency responders used their hands and shovel .as they raced against the clock, frantically searching for Nathan.
