Instant intimacy: when the silence in a subway car is broken, you may suddenly find yourself with a needy friend
Article Abstract:
A man's sudden plunge off a NYC subway platform and his equally sudden rescue before he could be injured led to the author's encounter with his lingering fear and his effort to engage her in a conversation of reassurance. Such encounters do not occur on subways because silence is the environment in which commuters share a space that moves them from one location to another. That silence is uniquely broken for the good of all when crisis brings strangers together.
