\u201cThe train is going south and I\u2019m just kind of driving, just driving, and I hear a loud noise and I look up and I see the train and it hits the concrete walls on the side and when it hits the walls \u2014 the walls kind of exploded \u2014 and the train just falls off. I see the train fall and it kind of falls on itself \u2026 and it hits three vehicles that were in front of me \u2014 a semi, a F-150 and a Kia Soul.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
An officer in the Army’s medical field at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, McCoy grabbed some equipment from his own vehicle and began dragging folks to safety, away from the dangling train car. He and another volunteer helped 30-40 passengers to safety;<\/p>\n
“I couldn’t afford to be scared, I couldn’t afford to be shocked. I had to do what I am called to do and focus and channel that and help these peple around me get to safety as best as possible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
