Who Me, a Hero? Nah. Now Pass the Chow Mein.

There are people who expect kudos for changing an empty toilet paper roll in a restaurant bathroom, and then there are those who actually save a life and don't even mention it to their parents.

Take Francis C. Lusk, 36, a New York City subway conductor who managed to grind his 370-ton moving train to a stop Saturday morning as it was pulling in to a midtown subway station, narrowly missing 30-year-old Nina Webster who had somehow fallen from the platform above.

"I actually watched her go off the platform so I didn't even need anybody to wave or get my attention ... I knew that I had to stop the train," Francis Lusk (right), 36, told ABC News. "I asked her if she was alright, if she was dizzy or anything. She said that she was bleeding, so I turned around, I had some tissues in my back pocket that I gave her."

Now, you'd think after a day like that, you'd want to recount the story to anyone who would listen. But Lusk didn't say a word to his dad when got home later that night.

"He went out to get Chinese food, and the phone rang. It was the TA [Transit Authority.] I said, 'What the hell did he do now?'" Francis C. Lusk, 74, told the New York Daily News. "They said, 'Your son's a hero.'"

Webster was rushed to the hospital with a cut over her left eye. That's it. She remained hospitalized Sunday, though reportedly with only minor injuries. According to the Daily News, police said they don't think it was a suicide attempt, and witnesses say they didn't see anyone push her.
