you things are faster than a speeding
train
except maybe these good Samaritans who
stepped in to help people who found
themselves on the tracks a PUD New York
risked his life to save a man sprawled
out on the track at a downtown subway
station
but Jonathan Coolidge says he knew
exactly what to do when he saw the man
fall onto the tracks from the other side
of the station I had to walk over to
Rails that third rail the third rail is
electrified and deadly but Coolidge says
he had just received special training on
how to safely walk across train tracks
from his job when he reached the man in
distress he lifted him up onto the
platform one minute before the train
arrived but would he be so brave in the
future
Wow
an 89 year old woman in New Jersey
thought she could make it across the
tracks before the train came but she was
cutting it too close for two witnesses
who got nervous when they saw the
warning gates come down and the elderly
woman still trying to cross the road one
man rushed to help her make it all the
way across and another ran over to
assist Saddlebrook police say no one was
injured
thanks to these brave helpers when a
visually impaired man fell onto train
tracks in Atlanta Georgia
commuters banded together to save him a
bystander took this video at the five
point station as two men jumped on the
tracks to lift him while two women tried
to pull him the rest of the way up by
the time Transit employees came to help
the man was safely back on the platform
and the two rescuers were on their way
the city applauded these good citizens
for making sure no one was seriously
injured that day this rescue was truly a
close call a woman was stumbling on the
train tracks at a station in melbourne
australia wearing a bra with no shirt
she reached out for a person on the
platform to help her but with the train
approaching Transit workers ran to pull
her off the tracks with just seconds to
spare I guess we were lucky enough to be
able to grab her until
if you thought that was close check out
this save in the Bay Area with the train
barreling into the station a man slips
onto the tracks with the Train just feet
away lucky for him transportation
supervisor John O'Connor was quick to
help I saw the headlights of the train
didn't think he was gonna make it so I
just grab him pull him off O'Conner was
able to pull the man up onto the
platform just in the nick of time one
second later and both of them could have
been seriously injured but O'Connor says
he believes it was all meant to be I'd
like to think that anybody else getting
in there would have done the same thing
I was God put me there for a reason
right I guess
Susan wensel and her daughter Katie were
visiting Atlanta for a weekend getaway
when a man violently pushed Susan onto
the tracks knocking her unconscious
I heard the horn that's what I heard so
I knew the train was coming in Katy
jumped in to help repositioning her mom
in the middle of the tracks and then
laid down beside her hoping the train
would just pass over them after the
train stopped on top of them Susan was
able to crawl out from underneath and
sit on the rail
she suffered minor injuries but Katie
was seriously injured the train caught
her necklace and almost killed her it
yanked it and cut just missing her
windpipe just missing her carotid artery
despite everything Katie says all the
pain was worth it I just did what any
other daughter would have done for a
mother that they absolutely love for
