Kicker: Honeymooning heroes

NICK EICHER, HOST: Sometimes what makes things memorable is a good scare. That’s what happened big time for an American couple on their honeymoon in Spain.

Doran Smith and David Squillante were out for a stroll in Barcelona when Doran noticed a group of women in a panic. She told news station WJAR:

SMITH: I saw a flame coming out of the doorway next to the door that these women had come out of. So I said, 'There’s a fire."

Her husband lept to action, ran into the building and this is what he discovered.

SQUILLANTE: I found myself looking at 15-20 babies sleeping and immediately just kind of lined everybody up. We started grabbing them and putting them into the cribs.

The couple and other good Samaritans moved the babies to safety across the street. It only took ten minutes, and now the couple has quite the honeymoon story!
