An elderly woman who fell and was trapped between a subway car and platform had an entire crowd of people come to her rescue.

While at least one of the woman's fellow commuters notified the subway's engineer of the problem, many of the rest of the passengers on the platform joined in to rock the subway car so the woman could be pulled to safety.

Once the woman was freed, the passengers simply went on about their business. No heroes, no headlines, just people helping someone in need.

The elderly woman's injuries were bad enough she was taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. While recovering, I'm guessing she thought about how to thank a group of total strangers who didn't think twice about helping her.
