    Oh, and look: The NYT City Room blog is now mentioning this Gawker thread, which is referencing the NYT report. It's so meta that I have to lie down now because I have what Lucille Ostero would call the dizzies.

    This is my favorite part of the NY Times story, as it shows a good amount of common sense:


    He remembered the subway hero of 2007, Wesley Autrey, who jumped on top of a man who was having a seizure on the tracks and held him down in the shallow trench between the rails as the subway passed over them. "I was like, 'I am not doing that. We've got to get out of here.' "

    Instead of waiting around for a book deal, he just went ahead and got on the next train and left.


    well, somebody somewhere told the times about it. wonder if it was, y'know, his AGENT?!

    Reading this post made me super-happy. While I fully embrace the snark, every once in a while it's great to read an article that just says, essentially, "An awesome guy did something rad. Check out how much ass he, uh, kicks."

    @Mount_Prion: Yes. As much as making a huge deal out of it seems tacky, I still like to know that people do that kind of thing.
