It's not every day you get two happy endings -- here's a tale from the NYC subway, involving a woman who was pushed onto the tracks (!), but managed to jump out before a train came with the help of another passenger (!!), while dozens of other commuters stood by and watched (!!!). Today, rescuee and rescuer were reunited, thanks to the Daily News. And the rest of Gotham just wonders, how could people stand by and not move to help this woman? It's the Kitty Genovese and the bystander effect all over again. (Via Gothamist)
