Woman saved from the train tracks. When Ms. Addie Norfleet of Georgia, USA, who is legally
blind, walked off and fell from a subway train platform just as a train was approaching the
station, one brave man, Samuel White, jumped onto the tracks to rescue her while other
passengers shouted and waved their arms to flag down the train. Fortunately, the train
operator, Ms. Ayana Dunlap-Bell, was able to halt the train in time. Ms. Norfleet was
treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and released in good condition.
Our admiring salute, Mr. White, Ms. Dunlap-Bell and platform passengers for your quick actions
and alertness that saved Ms. Norfleet. Such a community spirit of shared concern surely
brings comfort and inspiration to us all.
For his unhesitating and selfless acitons, Supreme Master Ching Hai is honoring Mr. White
with the Shining World Hero Award.�
