Ανθρωπότητα WIN: Το Bat Kid
Εχτές ο αρχηγός της αστυνομίας του Σαν Φρανσίσκο, εκατοντάδες αστυνομικοί, η εφημερίδα της πόλης, τηλεοπτικά κανάλια, το Υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης, ο δήμαρχος, ο Πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ και χιλιάδες πολίτες, ένα συνονθύλευμα μιας πάστας Homo sapiens αξιοθαύμαστης κι αξιοζήλευτης, συνεργάστηκαν σε ένα μεγάλο και δαιδαλώδες και πολυδιάστατο project που είχε ένα σκοπό:
Να χαρίσει σε ένα παιδάκι 5 χρονών την καλύτερη μέρα της ζωής του.
Να μια σύνοψη του τι συνέβη απο το BBC.
According to local television, the youngster thought he was just on his way to get a Batman costume so he could dress like his favourite superhero. But then he heard a broadcast from San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr appealing for help from "Batkid". Next, the pint-sized superhero saved a "damsel in distress", tied to cable car tracks along a major urban street.
Ο Μάιλς Σκοτ, το Bat Kid, διαγνώστηκε με λευχαιμία όταν ήταν μωράκι 18 μηνών. Πρόσφατα ολοκλήρωσε τον τελευταίο γύρο χημειοθεραπειών.
Later, he foiled a faux robbery in the city's financial district with the help of an adult Batman impersonator. Authorities who participated in the day's events pretended to apprehend the villain, the Riddler.
Miles also travelled to AT&T Park to rescue the San Francisco Giants baseball team mascot by disarming a fake bomb planted by another classic Batman baddie, the Penguin. The US justice department even prepared an indictment for the Riddler and the Penguin. Towards the end of the day San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee gave Miles a key to the city.
An estimated 7,000 people turned up to help make Miles' wish come true.
