What's Your Opinion?
Compiled by Bill O'Neill

Question: Do you think you would have the courage, like the man being called the "Subway Superman," to jump onto the tracks to rescue someone you saw fall? Briefly, explain.


"Yes, because once Idropped some money on the platform - and the wind blew it on the next tracks. No train was coming. So I jumped down on the tracks and retrieved it. So if I would do it for money, Idefinitely would to help someone." - James Owens, Canarsie
"Yes, I would do it in a heartbeat. I use a cane - five back injuries. There's a chance I would slip and fall. Ihope someone would help me. And if someone else fell, I'd do whatever I could. I'm glad a lot of people did something for that hero - Donald Trump, the mayor. He deserved it. Absolutely." - Doug Adinolfi, Canarsie
"Yeah, I would have the courage to help out. But I wouldn't expect to be called a "Superman." It's just doing the right thing. Iwould help out in anyway I could." -Ray Lukacs, Canarsie
"Only if the person was in my family would Ijump onto the tracks. Although, if I had enough time to get down and get up, I would - even if the person wasn't a family member. If the person was in my family, I would do it regardless of the situation." - James Thomas, Canarsie
