If you haven't earlier this week a gentleman saved another young man by jumping on the subway tracks and pinning him down risking his own life. When it was all over I belive it was 4 cars had already passed over them. The hero walked away with grease on his had and the young man minor injuries from falling. One comment he made was it was either try to save him or have my 2 daughters see this man killed. Could you risk your like for a stranger? I saw the hero last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, he was a cool guy to watch really down to earth. If you saw or heard the story what do you think?

I heard about that story. it's incredible to think someone risked their life like that for someone they didn't know. I don't know what I would do in a situation like that.

I'm not sure what I would do either, expecially if I had my kids with me. Instead of seeing a stranger killed they could of seen there father killed. I guess noone will ever really know what they would do until they get put in a situation like that.

Yes I heard about it then I saw him interviewed on Ellen. It was a great story and he was really a great person to get involved with another persons life like. A true hero to mankind. We need more good Samaritans like him!
