Electron Boy Saves the City of Seattle

Last week, the city of Seattle was under attack by super villain Dr. Dark and his side kick Blackout Boy. The villains took over the city and threatened to bring eternal darkness to the land, but one boy was able to shed light and save the day. That boy is Electron Boy!

Sounds like a script to a comic book, but this all happened on April 30th when the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted 13-year old Erik Martin his greatest wish ever - to be a super hero for the day.

The Foundation organized one of the largest wishes ever with the assistance of hundreds of volunteers, including the local police, government, sports team, and tv celebrities. An article written in the Seattle Times provides the scripted events of that day, which I highly suggest you read.

Below is real-life footage of Electron Boy saving the Sounders who were trapped in their locker room.



Here is part 1 of 2 of the transmission seen by Electron Boy and the rest of Seattle. You may recognize the actors because they are the hosts of "Deadliest Catch" on Discovery Channel. Great job Edgar Hansen and Jake Anderson for volunteering your skills for the Foundation.



After watching these videos, I could not help but shed a tear. What a great and heart-warming story. It puts everything into perspective and shows what an entire city can do when everyone works together on a united goal.
