Amazing show of people power in Perth, Australia

Amazing show of people power from Sterling Station in Perth, Western Australia, as a whole trainload of commuters jump off and lift the carriage to help rescue a passenger whose leg had become trapped.

They did it with lots of smiles and goodwill too!

It must be. ABC7 are tweeting about it and running the story too now. Think this story has universal appeal amongst all the usual tales of commuter grumbles and complaints.

I've seen the story appear from Canada to California now, as well as worldwide. It's really struck a chord. This is the first time I've seen THIS pic though - that just looks so, so painful! Can't even understand how his leg slipped down so far.
