Subway Superman Story

I am sitting here watching Ellen and amazed by this story. This man was having a seizure and fell onto the tracks of an oncoming subway. Another man (who is on Ellen) jumped down and held the man having a seizure down while the train passed over them. Can you even imagine having the courage to do such a thing? I mean with no thought to your own safety or well being. It is absolutely a divine intervention that they both lived through it. Once the train was over, they had to continue laying on the tracks for over 20 minutes to allow them to get all electricity off. Have you heard this story? Now, that is a hero....

Wow! He truly is a hero!

He was on Oprah awhile back, too. I don't think I'd have the guts to do that!

I saw an interview with him on CNN, and he was SO humble about the whole thing!

I remember the story...it is amazing that he did such a selfless act...I remember it the first time it was on Ellen a couple months ago...

Never heard this, but wish more people were more willing to help someone who needed it instead of standing and staring.

Wow, that is a true hero!

I hadn't heard that story. I think I would risk my life to save somebody but I am not sure I could do something like that.

Karen I just promoted this article for you, I have epilepsy and have had the same kind of seizures as this guy had on those train tracks. I just started a group for people with seizures and or epilepsy. I have bitten my tongue and have gotten bruised up real bad from hitting things while having a seizure.

If a person has one seizure after another, it can kill that person. I know of a woman in Minneapolis that died from having one seizure after another. I was friends with her son and I could tell by looking at him, that he didn't look very good, that's when he told me what happened to his mom. Seizures aren't fun to have and can be deadly.

I saw this the first time it was on tv. It is pretty amazing how selfless he was.
