Passengers in a train at JR Minami-Urawa station, north of Tokyo come together in a moment of heroism to lift a train cart off a woman whom had fallen off the platform.According to the Yomiuri daily, approximately 40 people came together to help push a 32-ton train cart to save the anonymous woman. The suspension of the train allows for the train to be tilted on either side to an extent which is what happened when those dozens of people did when they came to the rescue. What is remarkable is that she survived with just an 8" gap.The train in question caused a 8-minute delay, however this 8-minute delay was nothing considering what happened was an accident. Unfortunately, at this point in time there are no videos available from this heroic action. However, the images provided were taken by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.
