In 2007, a man had a seizure and fell onto the subway tracks in NYC. A train was already pulling in. Autrey, a construction worker, was waiting at a Harlem station with his two little girls, aged 4 and 6. When the young man tumbled off the platform, there was zero time to lift him back up before the train arrived. So, Autrey made a split-second decision. He left his daughters with total strangers on the platform and jumped onto the tracks. He shoved the man into the shallow drainage trench between the rails and threw his own body on top to hold him down. The train barreled into the station and rolled completely over both of them. The clearance was so terrifyingly tight that grease from the train's undercarriage actually smudged Autrey's hat. Miraculously, neither man was hurt. When the media swarmed him afterward, Autrey completely brushed off the praise, simply saying: "I only did what anyone should do." He was later awarded NYC's Bronze Medallion (the city's highest civilian honor) and received a massive standing ovation at the State of the Union. A true, real-life superhero.
