Subway hero Wesley Autrey

[cmyX6go]

Could you believe this guy. He jumps onto the tracks to save a guy who had a seizure and fell. Train comes, he lays ontop of the guy in the gulley in the center of the tracks and the train passes over them. He refuses medical attention and goes to work. DAMN! The next day he admitted he didn't sleep well. He realized it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do.
I would have had a heart attack. You jump down to help someone and good old Murphy's Law sends the train through at that minute.

L,
Yes, read about it yesterday and saw him on the national news last eve.
Pretty damn amazing. An unlikely hero, but that's how most of
them are.

His two little girls were on the platform. Could you imagine the things that went through his head when he realized the train was coming and the possibility his girls would witness his death.

He sure was a hero.

It make you remember that people are generally good.

A real hero, a completely selfless act.

I grew up 40 miles from the small town in Alabama where this guy is from. We make good folks there.
