@In Other News...: @VoxPopuli: Especially since you can cross over upstairs (without exiting) at that stop. Maybe he was just full of adrenaline.

My first week living in NYC, after going out with my new roomate, I saw a guy do a header onto the tracks on the other platform! No way was I going to cross 3 sets of electric rails, so I did the only thing I could do, take pictures with my cell phone while my roomie screamed.

Two guys ran over and saved him right before a train came in. HA!

Also, if the third rail was like 5' 11'' high, I might be impressed.

Also, when are we going to draw the line between heroism and thick-headed sentimentality around here?!

@TimeWarnerRhymeAnaheim: Did that stupid beer company stunt work? The one where they projected their logo onto the moon using lasers or some shite?

Judging from the proudly worn Local 241 Transport Workers Union cap, he would cross several subway rails before he crossed a picket line. Pretty damn brave.

Seriously, great story though - I'm not sure what I would do and I'm always amazed at people who jump down to the tracks to save people.

But maybe he could have just paid the $2 to switch back to the other platform rather than jumping back over the tracks? Or switched trains at 125 or 103 depending on which way he was headed...
