New York Subway Hero...amazing.

I cried when I read about the New York Subway Hero. He risked his life so his daughters wouldn't see a man get hit by a train. Lucky for those girls they didn't get to see that, but most of all....lucky for that man that was saved! Selfless acts of kindness make me cry. My body can't handle all the emotion. This man is receiving so much publicity...and why not? He risked his life for another. But what's so funny about picture of this man is that...his facial expression is like...."Would you leave me alone?" No smile....like "hey I saved the day!" just...this solemn stare like..."where did you people come from??" Cool guy. Great way to start the year...saving people and whatnot...Let's hope we see more black men in the media for doing stuff like this.

Here's the story.

New York Man Saves Teen Who Fell on Subway Track

With a train rapidly approaching a man leapt to the aid of a teenager who fell from a platform and onto the tracks of a New York subway. The teenager was believed to have fallen after suffering a seizure. When Wesley Autery noticed the young man fall onto the tracks he left his two daughters and placed his own life in the line of an oncoming train.

Autry was faced with a split second decision of trying to lift the teenager to safety or take his chances seeking refuge under the train. Uncertain if he could lift the man back onto the platform he decided to wedge the 19-year-old and himself in the drainage trough that was situated between the rails.

Covering the teen’s body with his own, Autry was faced with the terrifying possibility that the train might not clear his body. After the second car passed over his body the train came to a stop and with about 2 inches to spare Autry became a living hero.

The teen was identified as Cameron Hollopeter, of Littleton, Mass. He is enrolled at the New York Film Academy. Hollopeter was taken to the hospital after the incident and was reported in stable condition.

After ascending the tracks the 50-yaer-old Autry was greeted with loud applause and hugs from onlookers and witnesses. He was instantly hailed as a hero for the courage and bravery displayed.

Autry was in the process of taking his two daughters home and preparing to go to his second job when Hollopeter fell.

He told the New York Times "I don't feel like I did something spectacular; I just saw someone who needed help, I did what I felt was right."
