Even with all my annoyances of New media coverage of illegal executions. I feel captivated and in love with media sometimes for reporting Good News. Yes Good news. This is what I wish I saw more of. People saving people’s lives. I think the lack of snow in this region has me going into some strange Global Warming Rage. So a break from the norm for a few to read the following happy ending story.
Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker and Navy veteran, faced both those questions in a flashing instant yesterday, and got his answers almost as quickly.
Mr. Autrey was waiting for the downtown local at 137th Street and Broadway in Manhattan around 12:45 p.m. He was taking his two daughters, Syshe, 4, and Shuqui, 6, home before work.
Nearby, a man collapsed, his body convulsing. Mr. Autrey and two women rushed to help, he said. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, 20, managed to get up, but then stumbled to the platform edge and fell to the tracks, between the two rails.
And For The Rest Of The Story: NY Times
