(Feb. 5) -- A 14-year-old boy was miraculously in the right place at the right time when his friend's 2-year-old brother fell from a second-story window.
The accident happened recently near Austin, Texas. The older boys were playing in the Jamison family's second-floor game room when they decided to go outside to skate board, TV station WEAN reported. No one noticed that Cannon Jamison, 2, stayed behind.

While outside, Cary Clevenger heard a voice coming from above as Cannon tried to get the older boys' attention.
"I heard him say, 'Hey!' And I looked up, and he was up there. And I was like, 'Ooh, the window's down.' So I told him, 'You need to step back from the window, go downstairs,'" Cary told WEAN.
Cannon continued to hit and press his face against the window screen when it gave way and the toddler tumbled from the window. He bounced off a wall lamp before falling into Cary's waiting arms. They both hit the ground, unharmed.
Cannon's mom, Christie Jamison, had been in the kitchen and was unaware what happened. She took her son to the emergency room, just in case.
The Jamison family has since installed window guards. And 14-year-old Cary is being hailed as a hero.
"I guess God just had me at the right place at the right time," Cary said.
