Real-Life Superman

By Robert Birming in Pictures on Feb 22, 2010 at 6:28 am

Someone risks his own life to save another persons life.

He pushes the stalled vehicle off the railroad track, runs back to his motorcycle, and is only inches away from getting hit by the train.

Reader comment: Elias says, That happened in Argentina. Here is the video from the security camera.

    Why did he come back to the motorcycle instead of staying on the other side with the car ?

    That seems stupid to come back on the tracks…

    He came back because he was awesome !

    wouldn´t be half as badass if he stayed on the other side :D

    @Prospero, he was still on the tracks when he was done pushing the car, and because the car was in his way he would have had to go around the car to get away from the train. To get back to the side he came from he just had to turn around and go. He’s not so stupid after all.

    Saved life how? Everyone involved could have (And should have) just walked away. Saved the life of a person stupidly trying to save his car is the real title.

    R2K – the people in the train perhaps? they couldn’t have just walked away.

    Good point, Che. People often forget that trains aren’t forces of nature.

    Small detail. After being saved by this guy, the driver fleed the scene without even thanking.

    Him running back: He acted on instinct. There’s a train coming, he’s hardly going to stand around thinking “hmm, what’s the quickest route off the tracks?” now is he?
