Saw this and thought it worth a mention. A guy from Harbor Springs, who is scratching out a living as an underemployed actor and proofreader, saw a man fall onto the subway tracks, jumped in and saved the guy. An attaboy goes out to Chad Lindesy from Harbor Springs! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03 /18/nyregion/18subway.html?no_ interstitial

I always hated the platforms at Penn Station. It wouldn't surprise me if that sort of accident happened more there than other stations. that sort of action requires a bunch of courage |
