InNYC yesterday a man saved a strangers lfe by jumping on the train tracks and rolling both himself and the injured man under a small crawl space in the tracks. Fortunately both escaped harm but at least 2 train cars had rolled over them.

The man had fell on to the tracks after suffering a seizure.

What a heroic act of kindness.

Would you have risked your life to save a stranger?

Is your answer the same answer you would have given if you were still in the borg?

If I'd been by myself, no question - yes. But, honestly, if I'd been this man, I would have thought twice unless I knew about that crawlspace ahead of time.

He had his 4- and 6-year-old daughters with him. A rescue attempt gone wrong would have left them with one less parent and horrible memories of their parent's death. They might have admired his efforts later in life, but I wonder if, given the way children's minds sometimes work, they would have thought their father cared more about a stranger than about leaving them alone. I could also imagine a terrified child crawling onto the tracks trying to follow her father.

As it stands, the girls have a hero to look up to and it was a great outcome for everyone.

In high school, without a hesitation, I ran to place

myself between a little girl and a dog running loose

that charged toward her. Anyway, it turns out, the

dog was an old cur who was just being an asshole, but I

didn't know it at the time. I was happy with my conduct.
