"We're okay down here"
In case you missed the news yesterday, please make sure you read this.
In a world that is full of selfish and brutal acts, it is so refreshing to hear about a man who offered his life for a stranger.
He saw a young man have a seizure and fall onto the subway track as two trains approached. There was no hesitation in his actions. He jumped down there with the helpless one.
After rolling him into a drainage trough, he lay on top of him as the trains rolled over.
Miraculously neither man was injured. (His cap was scuffed.)
His two daughters, still in the crowd above him, were the hero's first thought when the air cleared over them.
He yelled up to tell them "we're okay down here."
Another reminder there are Angels among us.
"Greater love hath no man than this......"

The man who saved the guys life should be considered 'Person of the Year' instead of some politician..........
I wonder how many of us would be brave enough to do the same? I know that the "mother" in me would want to react - but could I?
What a totally selfless act..
:)
Not to detract from the act of heroism, just to add balance.
ps. the retina in my eye is ok!
I suppose we can all only hope that if we ever fall in front of a moving train - that a h3ro is around to do the RIGHT thing.
We could all learn something from this guy. Not only did he save the young man's life, but he didn't expect any glory for it.
Incidently, Pamela: You leave the best comments!
I needed to see this today, thank you.
That would have been a tragedy - and I had thought about how horrid it would have been for them.
I hadn't considered his making a choice that would have robbed them of his life.
I'm so thankful that it didn't come to that.
Wish I would always do that.
