Dramatic moment a New York paramedic jumped into the frigid Hudson River to save a drowning man - and he did the same to save a woman in July

Paramedic Niall O'Shaughnessy, of the Fire Department of New York, stumbled upon a crime scene off a pier in Tribeca, Manhattan Saturday afternoon with his partner Mingze Wu, the New York Daily News reports. O'Shaughnessy, 40, who is originally from Ireland, saw police officers using a life ring in an effort to rescue a man who had escaped from a nearby hospital. The Irishman, despite the 24-degree, snowy weather, jumped into the frigid river and rescued him *** end quote *** John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for ... I’m not sure if I could be this brave and courageous. Not sure what the water temperature was — based on what Google says, it was 46° which translates to 30 minutes before going unconscious — but neither did he when he went in. Completing his hat trick, I hope he wins the lotto. We need more men with huevos muchos grande like him in our world. God bless him and protect him in his future rescues since he seems to be around when bad things happen. # - # - # - # - # |

JNEWS: Curcio, Matthew [MC????] novel called ‘1 Train’2018-Jan-12http://riverdalepress.com/stories/rails-to-reading-on-1-train-in-novel,64453 Rails to reading on 1 train in novel Posted January 12, 2018 Matthew Curcio self-published a novel called ‘1 Train’ about his experiences taking the 1 train while attending Manhattan College. By SEAN BROWNE For many people, trips on the 1 train is merely a ride from one point to the next. But for Matthew Curcio, it’s inspiration. Curcio chronicled those thoughts in a book he self-published last year called “1 Train,” a novel about Cameron Grayson, a college student who finds himself collecting his late grandfather’s belongings that are now his, taking him on an adventure from Manhattan to the Bronx. While on the train, Grayson learns more about himself through interactions he has with fellow commuters. Although the work is fiction, Curico based those experiences from his daily commute while a Manhattan College student. “I found myself taking the 1 train everywhere, whether it was going out on the weekends with friends, or going to visit someone in the city,” Curcio said. “I kind of used the subway as a platform to really learn about who I was by looking at other people and observing them. That is what inspired me, looking at other people and observing the hustle and flow.” Many of those real-life interactions made it into the novel, such as Grayson dealing with beggars, or meeting a professor from Columbia University. However, Curcio was most fond of running into elder people on the subway because of the stories they told. # - # - # - # - # Curcio, Matthew [MC????] # - # - # - # - # 2018-Jan-12 @ 23:09 Dear John, I do not find anything in my 'stuff' for Matthew.
