The man in the photo above is Carlos Flores of East Harlem. Yesterday, he jumped onto the subway tracks at a busy 103rd street station to rescue a man who had a seizure and fell off the platform. When asked about saving a man from being crushed to death by the 6 train, he did not babble on about being a good-hearted person. He did not offer up some bullshit about caring for his fellow man. No. According to the New York Daily News he said,
"I was thinking, if he gets hit I can't go to work. It's Sunday. I can't miss out. It's a time-and-a-half day."
Here's to you, Carlos Flores!
You're my kind of hero.

Sono contento che lei l'ama! Sentire libero per usare la parte di questo blog, ma per favore darmi accredita per ciò che lei usa. È piacevole avere un visitatore italiano qui!
I have wanted to post something like this on my website and this gave me an idea. Cheers.
