Nascent Drama

"I think she probably went down head first and landed on her back," fire Lt. Simon Ressner said.
 
While her father screamed her name, firefighters opened a metal door at the bottom of the chimney, ready for the worst.
 
But then Grace's small hand poked out of the soot.
 
"I just jumped back," Ressner told reporters Friday. "I wasn't expecting anybody alive at the bottom of the shaft, so I was shocked."
 
When firefighters pulled her out, Grace was completely covered with soot, with only her eyes and mouth visible.
 
"It's a miracle — it's an absolute miracle," Grace's father, jazz guitarist Steve Berger, said later.
 
Grace was talking to visitors and watching TV Saturday at Bellevue Hospital Center, but still in pain. She was listed in fair condition.

Bounce, bounce, bounce ... for 24 hours.
 
That was what eight boys in Michigan did this week in an effort to set a world record.

Ten-year-old Mason Brott says the bouncing wasn't as tough as he thought it would be.
 
Guinness World Records must still authenticate the record, a process that could take months. The boys, ages 8 to 11, decided to try to beat the bouncing record of 19 hours and 24 minutes, set nearly two years ago.
