Japanese Passengers Who Pushed 32-ton Train to Free a Fallen Woman
Fortunately for the unnamed woman who fell from the train platform in Japan, the train was not moving. Also fortunate for her, engineers designed the train’s suspension system to lean in turns. That flexibility was all the people waiting on the JR Minami-Urawa station platform needed to push the entire train, freeing her from where the train had trapped her. The whole event took eight minutes out of the train’s schedule, but it gave the 30-something woman her whole life back.
Lowe’s Employees Who Repaired a Man’s Wheelchair

Sulsona lost his legs in a land-mine explosion and has been using a wheelchair to get around since then. Before Sulsona could panic, an employee of the store “… assembled a team of guys who came over and immediately started helping me,” Sulsona told the New York Post. “They were like a well-oiled machine, like a SWAT team.”
