the drunk japanese

so last night getting the tube back to my hostel a notice a comotion down the other end of a platform, a drunk japanese business man had fallen head first on to the tracks, 3 guys dived down and dragged him to the centre island between the tracks, luckily no trains were comming and the alarm went off and the trains were stopped but i dont really want to think if it had happened a few minutes later when a train had actrually been approaching.
