Daring Subway Track Rescue

Have you heard about the heroic act of Mr. Wesley Autrey? Actually this news were in the tv and journals, almost everyone talks about him and even President Bush mentioned his heroic act during his state of the union address.

The story about Wesley Autrey, a Harlem construction worker, was truly heroic, he jumped into the subway track, New York, afternoon of January 2, 2007 to save a stranger. It really take some guts for him to leave his two young daughters at the side and jump in front of a moving train to risk his life. He bravely jumped on the body of a 20-year-old man who had accidentally fallen onto the tracks, pressing them both into a foot-deep space underneath the wheels of the train. Luckily, they were both safe.
