Some dude has a siezure and falls on the tracks. Another dude sees a train coming and jumps down and LIES ON TOP OF HIM so that the train passes overhead. Baddest Knight at the Round Table... |

Very selfless and awesome act of concern. He could of as easily ended up losing his own life as well.

Guy has two daughters. That's the impact to me. Imagine the role model he set for them.

I'm not 100% sure I agree.
Yes, it's a wonderful thing, but what if in an ill-considered drive to be a hero, he was killed, and left his daughters without a father?

You think it was a drive to be a hero?

Doesn;t sound like it to me. This wasn't someone with a hero wish.

I thought this was about a sandwich.
Good for that guy. Call me when he has a sandwich named after him.

Never said, he had a hero wish. Wish it or not, that man wears his boxers on the outside. |

You could say that about anything that potentially puts the person at risk (going to war for example), it doesn't make the person doing it any less heroic. |

This guy immediately becomes a personal hero of mine. It's a bad-ass story.

It is a bad ass story, but the bit about his daughters mentioned above is true. It would be pretty tramautizing to see your father killed beneath a subway car, even if you possibly could later understand that he gave his life to help or save another person. How does the average person even know there is room beneath a subway car to lie flat on the ground underneath one, let alone lie on top of someone else. I can't see him doing it, unless he had that knowledge...but damn, that is an amazing and selfless act, not to mention the stone cold courage required. |

How traumatizing would it be to watch a man die while your father did nothing to help him? Either way the situation is a bit f'ed up. |

The real question here is...how do you pronounce his daughters' names?

Yeah, those names are the real questionable call here.. Good man though.. Other dude seemed to have a deathwish, fighting him and pushing him away.

I'm pissed because this guy took valuable news space away from Paris Hilton. I'm sure that she did something cool yesterday, but now I have no idea what thanks to this yahoo.

I am pretty sure when you have a seizure, you really have no clue what is going in around you. I have never had one before so maybe someone who has can comment?

Exactly. Can't blame the guy having the seizure, he had no control. It does make the rescue even more amazing. |

Yeah, wow. This is an awesome story. I hope this makes it around past just New York news, and into top news elsewhere. I'd like to hear good news like this in the evening for once.

It was on CNN. And I do congratulate him for doing it, I just had a bit of a niggle, and I'm not the only one
