peared，followed by the loud noise of a horn (汽笛)．

　　The guys started yelling，“Get out of the car!Get out of the car!”But Griffith felt paralyzed．

　　When Griffith glanced in the mirror，she saw the train lights approaching．But she worried that the

　　Arthritis (关节炎) in her feet would prevent her from escaping in time and that her car would be

　　damaged．One of the students，Tommy Stackhouse，20，saw her shocked face and knew he had to act．He reached for the car door and forced it open．

　　The train was just a few hundred feet away．In the last few seconds，Stackhouse grasped

　　Griffith’s arm and pulled her from the car．His friend，Frank DiPietrapaul，18，grasped her other

　　arm，and．the pair pulled Griffith aside．

　　They watched as the train crashed into the car，cutting it into half its original size and sending metal pieces flying．Griffith sat crying as the police arrived and sorted through the ruins and wrote her a ticket for no attention to driving．Eventually，the students went home．

　　A few days later，a reporter asked the young men and Griffith to reunite at a local coffee shop．There a tearful Griffith hugged her rescuers．”These boys are heroes,”she would later tell anyone who would listen．”They saved my life．”

　　Ricks feels only grateful for the outcome．”It was one of those moments，” he says，”when we could have been gone together．It makes you think how precious life is．”
