Did any of you see this? The article below doesn't mention it but he

got a $10,000 check from Trump, all expenses paid trip to Disney World

for he and his 2 daughters, college scholarships for them (I think they're

6 and 8!) and a medal from Mayor Bloomberg.

What am I bet in 6 months we'll hear about this guy being down on his

luck?

Wow, I hope I would be so brave in such a situation. Unfortunately I don't think I would be.

I seen this on the news the other night. It is unbelievable what this guy did. It show the small space that he and the other guy was crammed into under that train.It's a wonder they are still alive. Very brave man.

I saw the guy on Letterman last night.

Down to earth, good guy. He grabbed his girls & gave them to 2 women standing there, jumped on the guy, laid on the guy as the train ran over them.

Everyone came out safe & unharmed.

Hero said he had to tell the other guy to stop moving as if he was combative, and that wasn't elaborated on.

The train stopped and the hero had to tell everyone to be quiet so he could yell up to his daughters that he was ok.

Unbelievable story
