Talk about being in the right place at the right time!
Whether you believe in fate or not, the following story is pretty incredible… And it has me believing in miracles. On August 22, 2015, three friends from the Sacramento, CA area were on holiday in Europe when something happened that changed their lives forever.
Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone were on their dream vacation, a trip across Europe that they had always wanted to make happen. The childhood friends were traveling on a high-speed train, much like this one, from Amsterdam to Paris when a French passenger got up to use the bathroom and encountered a man with an AK-47 strapped to his chest. He tried to tackle the gunman, who fired shots and struck one passenger. That's when Skarlatos, a member of the Oregon National Guard who recently returned from Afghanistan, screamed "Get him!" and Stone, a U.S. Air Force paramedic, charged the would-be assassin.
With help from their friend Sadler and British businessman Chris Norman, the men were able to pin down and tie up the gunman, who was likely planning a terrorist attack. The men have since been called heroes by both United States and French Presidents and have inspired people around the world. In the following video, Jimmy Fallon talks to one of the heroes about their incredibly brave good deed.
I don't know about you, but this story gives me chills! They're the true definition of heroes and their story needs to be shared…
