Mark O'Dwyer owes his life to a 14-year-old punk rocker and an edgy television science program.

The 54-year-old was waiting at Lisarow train station on the Central Coast at 2.45pm on October 19 when he fainted and toppled two metres from the platform onto the tracks below, as a freight train bore down on the station.

Julian Shaw, who is 180 centimetres tall and weighs 70 kilograms, was travelling home from school with classmates when he saw Mr O'Dwyer, who is 187 centimetres tall and weighs 110 kilograms, fall. Julian leapt into action.

"I jumped down on to the tracks, lifted him off the ground and put him on my shoulder - he was heavy but there was enough adrenaline rushing through to help me," said Julian, who is in year 9 at Lisarow High School and plays guitar in punk rock band Checkered Fist.

With the train "just a couple of metres away", Julian moved the North Gosford resident to the edge of the track and rolled him under the platform.

But danger was not totally averted.

"[As the train roared past] the noise pierced your ears and there was a suction that pulled us in," Julian said.

"I'd seen that on MythBusters, so I stayed right back and pulled Mark back towards me."

The train eventually passed safely, and the pair chatted until ambulance officers arrived.

That kid is the win.

Actually on Mythbusters they showed there's not enough suction to pull you toward a train, but rather the air flow will shove you sideways.

Wow, that's cool. It's always nice to see a happy story for once. :)

I figured it'd be a nice change of pace :)

Huh.. I thought they only mentioned musical preference when a teenager kills someone. Another myth busted!
Kudos to the kid.

Nah, the new thing is to blame video games, not music.

I thought the new thing was to blame the media and advertizing.

Manson isn't punk. Manson is just very strange industrial/90s Goth. :p

The Sex Pistols make you into a good samaritin.

It must be lyrics like this:

I got no emotions for anybody else you better understand
I'm in love with myself myself
my beautiful self
A no feelings no feelings for anybody else

- Sex Pistols, No Feeling

That did it. *nods*

Meh wotever! I'm old enough now to laugh when people point out rockers in the street and call them Goths, coz I remeber what a Goth used to look like and what Goth music used to sound like. MM a Goth? Bwahahahahha!:D

Heh labels change, and I'm too old to keep up, I may as well continue to misuse them, and make up my own huh!

This story sucks. Its lacks dead people.

Go lay down in a train track then and you'll have your dead person. ;)

Calling him goth is more shorthand - his type and his followers are properly termed kindergoth

There's EVERYTHING porn. This is the internet.

There's mythbuster porn?!

Rule 34, my dear sir.

And if it (Mythbuster porn) doesn't already exist, you might find Rule 35 a little scary.

That's disturbing.

Peepelonia is right, Manson and his fans are in no way related to Goth, are not considered by any vaguely informed members of humanity as related to Goth. They are most certainly not Kindergoths, as that implies some basic understanding/interest in Goth in the first place. Manson is a twat, he ripped of Rozz Williams and uses every media opportunity to show off his pseudo-intellectualism.

I don't think she's done anything racier than the aforeposted FHM set. Of course, I'm not into trawling the depths of the Net for photoshopped shots of minor celebrities, no matter how delicious they are.
