Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn’t have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn’t. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.
New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city’s highest honor. He was asked to appear on several TV talk shows. He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10, 000 from Donald Trump, a $5, 000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.
How did Autrey react(反应)to all this? He said, “I don’t feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right. ”
