daring subway rescue in NYC...

Clickin thru some headlines over lunching and came across the following story. Paraphrasing here...

Suffering a seizure of some kind, a 19 year old kid falls off the platform and onto the tracks at a NYC subway station. The train is minutes from pulling in, if that distant. A 50-year old construction worker, waiting for the train with his daughters, jumps onto the tracks after the boy and attempts to get him back onto the platform. The kid, apparently still in the throes of his seizure, is fighting him, and the older man can't help or lift him. He can see the train approaching the platform. What can he do?

Pretty freakin remarkable.

Keep on keepin on~
