A severely injured woman and her dad want to thank the Boston crews for their heroic actions.
Andrew Harlow told WBZ he got the call no parent wants to get. "Uh, your daughter has been hit by a train."
Ava, 20, was knocking on the window of the trolley to alert her friends who were still in the car when she lost her balance and fell under the moving train.
Boston firefighters performed a technical rescue and rushed her to the hospital. One of her legs was amputated below the knee. Her other leg was broken, and she also suffered a fractured skull, a broken arm, and a crushed pelvis.
She has a long road to recovery.
Harlow said his daughter wants to thank the firefighters who rescued her. And, she's not alone.
"I want to know who the guy was who tied her tourniquet. I want to know who it was that resuscitated her the first time, then the second time," Harlow said, "I'm just grateful to the guys."
