Heroes Do Something and the Workout of the Day

Passengers on a train traveling from Amsterdam, including three 20-something year old Americans subdued a gunman who seemed intent on committing a massacre. It was very brave of a citizen of France, an expat from Midlothian, Virginia to initially step in and attempt to disarm the gunman. Mark Moogalian got the AK-47 from the shooter, but the gunman pulled out a pistol and shot Moogalian in the neck. It was then that the three Americans and a British citizen jumped on the gunman and subdued him.

I am sure some of my facts are a bit off here, but there is one thing that is true.... a small number of unarmed train passengers subdued a heavily armed assailant. One man was shot in the neck and will recover. One man was injured by the gunman's knife including having his thumb nearly severed. Terrible injuries for sure. But this gunman had eight or nine magazines of ammunition for his AK-47. Hundreds of people may have been killed or injured if these folks hadn't done something. Heroes take action.

Today's quote is from Brad Meltzer:

"We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day."
