Good things happen when you do good.

To balance the depressing news coming out of Iraq...
...50-year-old construction worker Wesley Autrey leaped onto a Manhattan subway track as a train approached to save the life of a man who had fallen after suffering a seizure.

Unable to pull him up in time, Mr Autrey placed his own body over that of the other man, holding him down in the low trench between the tracks as the train carriages passed millimetres above his head.


"We're OK down here," he yelled, in true Hollywood style, as the train stopped above, onlookers' screams turning to applause.

...according to Mr Autrey, ..."Good things happen when you do good."
