Guest echtrae Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 When people do things like this, I'll admit that I get sort of hopeful for our society. NYC, Trump, Disney reward "Subway Superman" "You see somebody in distress, you help out," Autrey told a news conference, as he was flanked by his 4- and 6-year-old daughters, who had watched their father jump onto the subway tracks. "I was just in the right place at the right time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanaea Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Am I the only one who reads that thinks 'Oh, those poor girls'? I hope he at least told them not to move. Do you think he even thought about what might happen to them if he had died in his attempt? I mean, cool, he saved a life - that's great, but those poor little girls were prolly freaked out seeing their daddy get run over by a subway train.

Guest echtrae Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I actually had a similar thought when I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoryJunkie Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 he must have known the clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest echtrae Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Or he was just hoping for the best. There is no way of telling which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoryJunkie Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 yeah, he probably jumped instinctively and at the same time thought: "what the hell am I doing?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Samurai Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think it's cool that the dude saved a life, but, at the same time, stuff like this probably happens a lot, it just doesn't get caught on camera, so I feel bad for all those undocumented acts of similar heroism.

foeofthelance Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Actually, he wasn't thinking about the clearance at all. The train showed up several minutes after he had jumped down onto the tracks. The guy was having a seizure, and they do get pretty violent. He couldn't get the guy back onto the platform, and then saw the train. So he probably wasn't expecting any trains being invovled when he jumped.
