I was looking at a story that was very short in a street newspaper about how four homeless men came to the aid of a girl on a bus in Modesto, CA and wanted to read more, so I Googled “Homeless man saves” and then I found so many stories that I had to share them:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11801147
and finally the story I was originally looking for: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57517979-504083/homeless-men-save-calif-teen-from-sexual-attack-report-says/
I looked for a local story about how a homeless man steered a city bus to safety after the driver was knocked out by a falling tree but got no matches on that even though it was covered on the news for a short time in my state. It’s a shame, every bad story seems to go viral, but the good ones don’t get much attention.
