I'm sure some/most of you have heard about what happened on the NYC Subway recently. I was proud to see that there are still people out there that are willing to risk their own life to save someone else's {besides what our troops are doing every day}. It was really refreshing to read this story, I think we can all appreciate what he did.

  That guy has got some guts. He jumped down onto the track, and laid on top of the guy having the seizure. He figured if he held the guy down, the train would pass over them. He was right.
  I don't know how he knew the clearance of a subway train.
  Either he was lucky, or smart, but he had a lot of guts.

  Yeah, I doubt there are many people (probably myself included) that would just instinctively do something like that.

  Count me out - I saw a guy after he had falled/jumped(?) onto that third rail
  once on the Paoli local outside of Philly! No thanks! Nicer ways to die than
  that![8D]
