Paramedic David Reed explains what he saw as one of the first people on the scene of the Gulf oil platform explosion.
A young woman topples into the train pit at North Station as the lights of an approaching Orange Line train grow in the distance. Frantic bystanders wave to the train as it bears down on the woman. The train grinds to a stop just inches from the woman. She crawls out from under the front of the train, miraculously unharmed. It’s a story that could have ended tragically without the quick thinking of train operator Charice Lewis. Now, Lewis is being honored for stopping the hurtling behemoth just in time in the November incident, which was captured on a stunning MBTA surveillance video. Lewis, who has worked for the MBTA since 2006, will get the Community Recognition Award from Partners In Transportation at the State Transportation Building at noon Friday, the MBTA announced today. I like my job and I think I can make a difference here just by doing my job, Lewis said in a statement. Some may call me a hero. I don't consider myself to be that. The people who were on the platform that day are the heroes. I was just doing my job, paying attention and doing what I was trained to do in emergency situations. The event will be hosted by Registrar Rachel Kaprielian of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and Secretary of Transportation Jeffrey Mullan will participate, the MBTA said.

An Indiana fisherman has proof that Asian carp are alive and well in the Wabash River. Brendan Kearns videotaped hundreds of fish jumping on the river earlier this month and posted the video to his website. The video shows the fish leaping out of the water as Kearns\' boat passes with some landing onboard. The Department of Natural Resources spokesman says the Asian silver carp is known for its jumping ability and can be dangerous to humans who can be struck as they leap. The state plans to erect a mesh barrier to prevent the species from leaving the Wabash.
