Manhattan — A terrible accident this afternoon would have turned deadly were it not for the quick thinking of one young man. Miles Morales, 19, of Brooklyn, sprung into action to pull coworker Jim Garcia out from underneath an unsecured stack of steel girders at the Brighton Suites construction site in Midtown.

"I saw the girders start to tip over and Jim was standing right under them," says Morales, a rising sophomore at Columbia University. His father Jefferson Morales stands proudly behind him. "He would've been hurt or worse. I just did what anyone else would do, you know?"

Despite Morales's modesty, his colleagues at BMB Construction are calling the young man a hero. Especially Mr. Garcia himself

"I've never seen someone move so fast! Crazy what adrenaline will do to you. I owe the kid my life."
