A 70-year-old Marine veteran from Maryland is fighting for his life after valiantly storming into a rowhouse that exploded so that he could rescue two strangers from the devastating blast.
Terry Bagley was walking to the local market in the Pigtown neighborhood in Baltimore to purchase some items for his family's Thanksgiving meal when an explosion erupted at a rowhouse around 2 p.m. on Thursday. Bagley jumped into action and bravely ran into the fiery building, looking for anyone who needed assistance in escaping. The explosion destroyed one rowhouse and damaged several others.
Bagley was able to rescue a 16-year-old girl and a 48-year-old woman from the burning building. However, Bagley was severely injured from the incredible rescue mission. Firefighters pulled Bagley out of the rubble of the rowhouse that was leveled by a severe explosion.
The woman and the girl are said to be in stable condition, but Bagley is in critical condition and is in a medically induced coma. Bagley suffered a broken pelvis, broken femur, and broken hand, according to his daughter.
The hero's daughter, Eris Bagley, told WBAL-TV that her father risked his own life to save strangers "because he's a Marine."

What a hardass. O.o Sounds like he’s in pretty bad shape in a medically-induced coma. (He doesn’t look age 70 in the picture.)
I said some prayers for Mr Bagley.
