New Yorker Wesley Autrey became a hero yesterday when he saved the life of Cameron Hollopeter, a student at the New York Film Academy. After Cameron fell from the subway platform at the southbound 1 train’s 137th Street/City College station, Wesley jumped into action and dived on top of the terrified teenager and pinned him down in the drainage trough between the tracks, as a 1 train came screaming into the station - thankfully the train driver saw what was happening and slammed on the emergency brakes, but not until 2 train cars had passed over the two, leaving only 2 inches to spare between them and the undercarriage of the train.

A true hero story - I love reading shit like this - this is the kind of story that inspires.
