A baby that crawled into a commercial washing machine at a Laundromat was locked inside as the machine was running and could have been killed, but thanks to a fast acting hero, the 7-month-old survived! He was trapped in washing machine in D'Iberville, Miss. after he apparently crawled in while mom was sorting clothes and his 4-year old brother shut the door!
The New York Daily News reports, "The side-loading washer had already been loaded with soap and quarters. So once the door slammed closed it locked and the machine flooded with water." Mom panicked, and ran to the business next door for help as she couldn't get the door open to get her child free. Mike Adams was just closing up his family's restaurant.

From NYDN:
The mom didn't speak much English, so it took Adams a while to discern her distress, he said.
"I could see she was getting more frantic, then I caught a bit and piece about a baby and the laundromat, so I ran next door," he said. "When I got down there they was pointing at the washing machine and saying 'Baby!' I just couldn't believe it."
Adams threw all his weight into jerking open the door. The lock prevented it from opening more than a few inches. Finally, the stainless steel door popped open.
