[45ett]

YES MAN !!!!! Give him more because he deserves much more !!!

[KillahB89]

LMFAO...... Donald Trump's greedy, attention seeking, ass.....

[ssips720]

im sending wesley 50 bux

[sykane9]

Chuck Norris meet your master.

[Benderrr111]

It takes real guts to jump in front of a moving train like that...just the sound of it is so intimidating..

[whitedust696]

wow what a story brave brave man, a real superhero. RESPECT

[2011stockholm]

He didn't ask for the accolades, but I'm glad he got all of this. He deserves it. It's not like he thought "I'm going to DISNEY WORLD" when he jumped onto those tracks. Awesome story.

[2011stockholm]

The 16 people who didn't like this are the type who would never be heroes. 

[liltina106]

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

[gdamte]

A great man, an ever inspiring story, a love so amazing. Wesley Autrey is my hero.

@gdamte I thought he was from NY? D: Or is that your adress? d:

[doomsdaymonster7]

I think it's a bad idea to want to be TOO humble and be anonymous as a hero. These kinds of things - people need to see this and be inspired to do the same.

[APriceProduction]

Amazing a real hero, I liked the fact he hugged both the guys when he got the thanks and bronze reward. Fantastic!

[ncasey31693]

wow, this man did something so amazing and that very few people would even think of doing, as an african-american person it brings me joy to see an african-american man who is so humble, kind and brave. It is very refreshing to see positive things about our men

[oOMuzikLovaOo]

I saw him on deal or no deal and he turned down 300 hundred thousand dollars and then won 25 dollars. SO SAD. Wesley really deserved the money, too bad he only got 25

[Trike17]

I wish I had the courage Wesley had.. and he's such a good person!

Epic Beard Man has nothing on Wesley.

[knocked44]

Well done Wesley! We cannot put a price on having heroic people like you among us in a time of need. Well done!

[coijoi]

wow" we have now a black superman... your the mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[bendutta2008]

Absolutely amazing story.

[bugblaster007]

totally deserves everything given to him. God bless

[billw1963]

What a wonderful man! I applaud you!

[Me4475]

Love him.

[freedomnow2012]

He did not want to hung him 1:07, man there not human, lol.

[mija2006]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­

[loveelephants]

He is superhuman. We all should be like him.

[BurningLexicon]

i nearly cry every time i see footage of this guy.

[mija2006]

i feel you. i am still coming back watching it over and over again.

[paolo922]

We need a lot more of him, not just in New York, but everywhere else. Selfless! Amazing. He deserves whatever comes to him for his deed.

[Francis1039]

Take the money man... take it.

[voison]

Sadly enough, no mentions of that the man who fell had epilepsy. Epilepsy is still a stigma and society refuse to call it by its name, but simply "a man who fell".

[spankthis06]

he is an amazing man and deserves every bit of reward he gets...i love hearing stories like this it renews my faith in humanity.

[nevawrong]

i wonder what the kkk thinks about this man, lol lol.

[Mastas999]

he deserves every penny he gets

[excel213k]

he does have all the right to brag about it, nothing but a true hero.

[SkateRocker12]

that guy has every right to brag, but i love how he still remains humble. respect that man

[jardinnoel]

i got tears in my eyes watching this

[cplS1mon]

same goes for me , unbelievable what he did ... such a great personality i hope there would be some one like him if something like that would happen to me ..

[willytheekid]

The guy hugs everyone he meets and throws himself under trains to save strangers....its so nice to see real heros and genuinely nice people still exist.

I hope his 15mins of fame & fortune last forever!

His kids must be SOOO proud of there dad :)

[Dominique199]

amazing man

[somebodychris1977]

respect

[tostopshortofbarking]

america should be so proud of this guy. being so naturaly committed to saving lives he should run for president. he would make a better one than you have now lol!

[noorizer]

Wesley Autrey2008

[efbe]

he deserves everything..

[scoob2007]

He was the right man at the right place at the right time. Very inspirational. His daughters have much to be proud of.

[papatyalarim]

he is a hero.. a real hero

[leway13]

Wesley... fuckingheromaster

[Hostile]

A brave man riding his 15 minutes with dignity. All the best to him.

[iamdasire]

if it had been me that guy would have died, and i would have taken the next trian.

he is a hero

[yamitorae]

Donald threw a the check at him like he was god shit! You give a hero a $10,000 check in your multibillion dollar office...you tie cost more than that. You gave your stupid ass baby a rattle worth more than that...YOURE FIRED YOU LOSER!!! All these people giving him money, so they can use him as a photo opp...and still treating him like he ain't nothing but a nigger. SAD!!!!

[acepimp72]

Hey piece of shit, quit crying like a fucking bitch. Let's not focus of what this brave man did, wouldn't you take a $10,000 check? Hell yeah you would! Trump didn't have to give him jack shit but he did so all power to him. I can't believe this asshole whining about what this man is rightfully deserves. FUCKING PRICK!

[yamitorae]

You're an ignorant piece of shit. I'm not whinning you stupid fruit cake. This man worked for Trump doing construction, thats why. I am not the only person who feels this way. If you think is acceptable for him to give a $10,000 check (that he will write off in his taxes) to a man who saved a life - and he is worth billions- then you really are a loser. Bottomline Trump gave the check for a photo opp. A cheap one at that!!!

[robotactionstar]

If you have given him nothing, you aren't really entitled to judge what is an appropriate amount. You suffer from what is known as "class envy". If 10k isn't enough or the right amount to escape your criticism, what is?

[rotichaanai]

all heroism lost in the battle of egos...

see the bigger picture fellows.

[yamitorae]

Bloomberg you prick...he looked like he didn't want him to hug him. You ass and where is that bald eagle Donld Frump?! Giving him $10,000 ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME...YOU ARE WORTH BILLIONS AND HE USED TO DO CONSTRUCTION FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!!! THATS LIKE A $1 TO YOU ASS....AND YOU CALL ROSIE A LOSER!!! WOW.

[thepoiboy]

what a great human being!

[TonopahJoe]

People like Mr Autrey who in construction have a feel for the physical aspects of the world around them. He said on Lettermen that he works in confined spaces and he estimated that there would be enough clearance between him and the bottom of the train. He was right. Just like the window washer in the Trade Center that used his squegee to break through the wall so they could escape the stuck elevator. People like that are smarter than you think.

[andyclee]

everything and everyone has a purpose, right?

[devizer]

this is was a miracle...only thing like this happen in the movies

[marciorlando23]

lot friends doesn't help other friend this man save somebody life

[Sambamann]

Mr Autrey reminds us that maybe, just maybe, there's a hero we can find in ourselves. For the new year, when doubt, do a Weslwy.

[yukimunni]

Great act

[Nevaeh218]

This mans act touched my heart and then those brothers that saved the toddler...what a wonderful start to a new year!

[Jet90]

People sure are making a huge deal out of this

[cadabraa]

Part of me says his act was stupid and he got lucky, the other part of me says the other guy may not have been so bright as to stay put. All in all he's a 15 min. hero and deserves credit.

[viccapo23]

no shit,he saved a life

[ArabianVixen1]

It is a big deal... people dont put their lives in danger for people they dont know.. it doesnt happen to often so when it does, considering this person has children and they were watching, damn sure he deserves a reward and acclaim.. Hes great.

[causeandeffect06]

fuck donald trump, letterman, and mayor bloomberg!!!

[meljones75]

That kind of unselfishness and bravery is w/o saying truly inspirational. And I totally agree, Trump, Letterman, the mayor--who, by the way looked like he didn't want to be touched by Autry, appear so insincere while handing him a little bit of money and getting a few press shots. How brave and genuine a person Autrey is even clearer standing next to them.

[grantsohn]

bloomberg looked visibly uncomfortable as he was being hugged by 'a black man.'

[joshl19]

thats right! this guy's great. and those fuc* thight so called "VIPs" wanna look better by smiling into camera with him.

thats the difference bloomberg shakes his hand, autry hugs him. well having fought in a war changes the way you think of life.

[diddlingdoom]

NYC has the most kind hearted people, a lot better than good ol' crack addicted DC.

[reaperpro]

I'm from Birmingham, AL, I've travelled a lot in my life, and I can vouch that people in NYC are, by and large, excellent, friendly, helpful, good-hearted people. Much nicer than you'll ever find in smaller cities like Minneapolis or Atlanta. 3 cheers for Wesley Autry.

[ospmag]

Praise God for what that man did!!

[amerikanzero]

i will do no such thing. i will applaud and praise the man for doing such a selfless act.

[ospmag]

O Pleeeeeeeeeez grow up!!

[amerikanzero]

This coming from someone who spells "please" with a "z"...praising god instead of the man takes away from what he did.

[Thorndyke1]

Incredible Person Who May Have Changed Views About The Value Of Life In Our Cities. The True Significance Of This Event Is Preconceived Notions And Predjudices Held By Many, Including Segmants Within The NYPD And Law Enforcement Throughout Our Country, May Have To Be Re-thought Based On This Event. We Should Value Life Of The Less Advantaged, For They May Be The Ones Who Sustain Your Existance As Brother Autery Has Unselfishly Demonstrated.

[oooALICEooo]

he sooooooooo awesome

[MICKEYSMONKEY]

If there is a such thing as a HERO...this man could be the litmus test necessary for all others to follow to qualify as a hero...He is the REAL DEAL!...HATS OFF, RECOGNIZE & RESPECT THE REAL. ...This dude got balls.

[kramlafup]

this made my day

it is beautiful

And is why I love this world

[alumni182]

What a man

[IOBONProductions]

I am proud to see that

[Tannertibs]

A real hero. Way to go, man.

[billyboy76m]

congrates

[MichaelTubes]

Good job buddy. im proud of ya...notice what kind of people are always willing to risk there life so they can save someone else's

[lcreight]

Amazing that a man can do something amazing like this and people like bowman81 attributes it not to the man, but to an invisible puppetmaster in the sky. More wesley, fewer believers.

[gidyupbaby22]

that's what's up!!

[merkanthony]

Wesley Autrey is the man!

[sodaberg]

He deserves more than anyone could ever offer him. He also deserves more than 15 minutes of fame, how about years.

[bowmanA81]

I truly believe that God is showing us there is still good in this world, we really need to embrace it. We are so quick to overlook the good, and see nothing but evil and negative things. Thank you Dear Lord for these heros...God Bless you all!

[billydilly1]

I was so use to hearing the word "Hero" everyday and became common but this guy wesley truly has refreshened the word "Hero" maybe "Super Hero" no Disrespect to all other Heros, we hear of people being saved in Fires and Drowning and car crashes and so on but this Train Thingy you dont hear of everyday what a compassionate man I was touched the fact he saved a total strangers life and left his daughters above u deserve all those rewards Man and New York needed a boost.

[ketchupboy72]

Man, What a guy! True hero,
