Watch Mythbusters. It could save your life.

Your heartwarming rescue story of the day comes from Australia.

A 54-year-old man was waiting for a train and fell onto the tracks just as a freight train roared into the scene. A 14-year-old punk rocker kid sees the fall and springs into action.

“I jumped down on to the tracks, lifted him off the ground and put him on my shoulder – he was heavy but there was enough adrenaline rushing through to help me,” said Julian, who is in year 9 at Lisarow High School and plays guitar in punk rock band Checkered Fist.

With the train “just a couple of metres away”, Julian moved the North Gosford resident to the edge of the track and rolled him under the platform.

But danger was not totally averted.

“[As the train roared past] the noise pierced your ears and there was a suction that pulled us in,” Julian said.

“I’d seen that on MythBusters, so I stayed right back and pulled Mark back towards me.”

The train eventually passed safely, and the pair chatted until ambulance officers arrived.

The kid is a local hero, his punk band got a new song out of the experience, and all’s well.

So watch Mythbusters. Your life or the life of a perfect stranger could depend on it. And the redhead’s kinda cute.
