Boston’s new hero: woman who jumped from burning subway car into river

The anonymous woman jumped into the water, swam to shore, and carried on with her day. How Bostonian!

Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz will be inducted into the baseball hall of fame this weekend. Aside from the three World Series he helped bring to the city, among the memories this is likely to stir up among fans is the rousing speech Big Papi gave shortly after the Boston Marathon bombing. This is our fucking city!" he shouted at Fenway Park.

Many locals had a similar reaction to the heroics of another Boston figure on Thursday morning when an MBTA train heading into the neighboring city of Somerville caught on fire.
