Whaddaya know, there are still folks in NYC that think first, of the welfare of others, and then their own....the golden rule??

Amazing stuff here, a case study in Humanity.

There are folks everywhere who think of the welfare of others, I think, but to take that big a risk so quickly is still extraordinary.

Damn, I wish I had stayed up and watched the whole thing.

What's the back-story? Why'd they end up down there?

The man he saved had a seizure on the platform, seemed to recover, then fell onto the tracks. Wesley was standing there with his two daughters, got a bystander to look after them, and jumped onto the tracks.

Plug his name into Google News for more details.

Bravo!

For some reason this all reminded me of the opening for the anime <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gantz">Gantz which dealt with the dilemma of "What if someone else fell? Would I jump to the rescue?”.

Wow, what an amazing story! He's a really stand-up guy too, despite the celebrity attention he's getting. Bravo!
