Family Keeps Vigil

Hang in there buddy.

Story:
New York -- The family of the tow truck driver who was right on top of the steam pipe that exploded in Midtown spoke about 21-year-old Gregory McCullough's progress.

His mother told the NY Times he had opened his eyes for the first time last week, "They can't tell us if he'll be OK because his injuries are too severe. He is still in a coma but the nurses said he can hear us. So I sing to him and I know he's listening. I know he can hear me."

McCullough, who also attended classes at John Jay College and studied karate when not working, suffered burns over 80% of his body, and doctors put him into a medically induced coma. It's estimated that the heat of the steam from the 83-year-old pipe was at least 400 degrees.
