Life can be unfortunate for some people at times.
Nvidia marketing manager Philip Scholz was pulling a man off the railway tracks in San Jose, California, to save him from being be run over by a train. Seldom was the case though. The unidentified man along with Scholz were run over by a commuter train that came into the station at 50 to 70 miles per hours (roughly 120 kmph), as surveillance footage from the station reveals.
Scholz died on the spot, while the man he was trying to save has survived, but is in critical condition at the hospital and unable to speak to investigators.
Chris Malachowsky, Nvidia co-founder said the Scholz’s actions “completely resonates with something consistent with the guy. I’m sure his knee-jerk, no hesitation to help someone else is what caused this—he goes down as a hero in my book.”
Very sad indeed.
