He did not just save 140 passengers, he saved 140 families. Great man should be remembered!!
Maybe. Some of those people may not have had any families. I'm sure out of 140 people there was at least one person who had no relatives.
@@PeugeotRocket poi
@@PeugeotRocket or maybe like multiple people who are 1 family, but no need to get technical over this
@@PeugeotRocket hmmm maybe.
@@PeugeotRocket those 140 ppl must have a family even if one of them is orphan
I cried when his colleague said “Why couldn’t he save himself?”. A true hero, may he rest in peace
Me too 😢
I thought it was all happy story and then the first statement broke me :(
It gos me in the feels to. From the sound of it the conductor sounded like he was beloved by many. I get the impression that he was cared greatly about.
yes , its very emotional . These people have feelings and care for their colleagues unlike most of the work places.
Literally same. I thought this was going to be a happy video and in the first 4 seconds I cry. 😭
Rip hero ❤️
What an amazing lad. To be able to save soo many lives. It's a shame he died without fully knowing he saved all of them
He was a retired PLA soldier, he remembered his training, he remembered his oath.
Same like mugen train
Tanjiro once said: i lose if even 1 passengers died
@@zulfikri6278 so the driver is like rengoku? 😭
@@Yen-jw1ls 😭ren
No lad
When you see a co worker Cries while saying something about a person, you know how great of a man he truly is.
Some people are just sensitive like that though and would cry no matter how well they knew a person or what they were like. So we really can't make assumptions.
@@PeugeotRocket Your pfp perfectly fits your opinion on this
@@neow6289 Yes, many of us anime fans are more grounded in our thought process.
@@PeugeotRocket The perfect specimen of a person who has had minimum interaction with another human being. Give yourself a round of applause 👏👏👏👏👏
@@kieaki7371 I mean, I'm engaged but sure, my belief that just doing your job which doesn't carry any enhanced risk doesn't make you a hero means I'm socially inept. No free thought allowed, right?
This man is a hero
Saving more than a hundred people is such a great feat.
Pulling an e-brake like any other engineer would have done makes him a hero? He didn't run into a burning building or put his life in danger to save others.
Am I a hero for braking in time in my car?
@@PeugeotRocket you don’t save people by doing so, so no.
Such a great feat? That's his job to pull thr brakes, and the only person with thr controls.... also this crash is not caused by hitting dirt.
@@M_SC because he was not in the position... the train operator only person have controls of the brakes.... that's what he suppose to do pull the brakes when there's an accident
@@M_SC I don't? If I fail to hit the brakes I'll hit someone. On a few occasions I have hit the brakes when someone ran a stop sign. I would have hit them if I hadn't stopped. Was I a hero then?
The social brain hypothesis states that at any given time, a human being has about 150 relationships on average. Yang Yong, not only saved these people, but the countless lives that knew them too. He’s effected thousands with this single act of heroism and should long be remembered for his courageous sacrifice.
another one to add to the list of "below average"
A truly selfless Hero. He will be remembered for generations to come by those he saved. May his family and friends find some Peace in his loss. A tragic reminder of how each second could be our last. Please live well.
selfless? using the emergency break is the only thing he could do at that time, most people would do it
@@truthboom I feel it was selfless because as an Train Operator he had a reasonable expectation that he was going to take the brunt of the crash based on trajectory. And some people would freeze or panic. Just my opinions.
@@truthboom it still doesn’t undermine the fact that he still saved more than 140 people.
@@buckethead133 Not every American is like this, but I do understand where your comcoming from. People here are lowkey crazy lol
@@anniekinsmishkamouse7575 Using the emergency brake is the only thing that increases his chance of survival. Heroic? Yes, Selfless? No
As a train driver, he did all he can to stop the train 🚆 immediately to avoid further damage. Unfortunately, very very unfortunate, the driver was killed in the accident. Hope that he was not suffered too much pain and wishing him Rest In Peace 🪦
I can't take people seriously when they use emojis unironically.
My condolences to the train driver and his family. A true hero.
he had no family mate....
@@Helpadoggoreachsubs Next life, he probably having one of best life among us
@hát vang do train tracks in your country have safeguards?
Did you see news videos of falling boulders at Yellowstone park that nearly hit passing cars on the road? Safeguards missing in the US is rather surprising.
@hát vangso the Florida condo that collapsed and the fairly new San Francisco condo that is tilting were american tofu projects?
It doesn't matter where you're from, I think this is a man that deserves respect
Was* a man!
But, Yeah.. Such heroic incidents are appreciated every corner of the world.. I am from India, Though China is an enemy Nation.. But This video is not compatible to show my anger for its people.. Heroes are in every corner of the world.. 🇮🇳❤️ Condolences from India.
@@debu98 yah but we have issues with govt and not with Chinese people.... Anyways rip to the hero
Yang Yong, a high speed railway driver, also a proud PLA veteran, has won our respects and love
May his soul rest in peace🙏🏻
rip 🙏
Ameennn
Peoples liberation army? communism mid
he also saved CCP's propaganda!!!
what does pla mean?
This is the literal definition of "He understood the assignment". My Condolences to his colleagues, friends, and most of all, his family. Rest in Paradise to you King you will be remembered.
Rest in Peace Hero Yang Yong. Through your sacrifice, you saved everyone who will LIVE IN THE IMAGE of your heroism. Such an unfortunate accident, but China Rails surely needs to check their lines DAILY/HOURLY for such landslides, rocks etc etc.
They should put barricades around the rails that are near landslides.
@@Absolut531kmh Yes!
😔❤
Another train went through the tunnel just in a few mins earlier, means the landslide happened just a few mins earlier before the crash. No way to check lines so frequently
The landslide didn't cause the train to derail.... SMH the 2 photos are in different locations. Hence CCP don't show no videos
His last thoughts were saving the people on board. A true hero. Rest in peace.
This is as classically heroic as it gets. I hope his colleagues and friends are supporting his family well financially and emotionally after this tragedy.
At a situation like that, he saved everyone without anyone dying. He truly is a hero for sacrificing his life for the safety of his passengers..
he died
Rest in Peace, he was a true hero, my condolences to his family and friends!
My condolences for the driver. This is one of the few incidents which actually hits me hard, usually I don’t even feel anything, but this incident was different since the driver actually saved the passenger’s lives in exchange for his.
He shows the real definition of hero to the world..RIP hero..🙏🙏🙏
Definition*
Rest In Peace, Yang Yong. You’re a hero. From one train engineer to another, sending love to you, your family, your friends and your fellow railway workers.
Rest in peace.
The price was too high to keep all but 2 carriages on the track but the rest made it out. Really feel for those colleagues
The driver made the decision of sacrificing his life for others within a split second...wow, that's the bravery I can't even imagine. By seeing how sad his colleague is, you know he was a great guy to be around too! RIP hero!!
He didn't sacrifice his life for theirs. He was dead either way.
@@PeugeotRocket so... I'm not going mad then?
Everybody else here is saying he put others above himself, but all I could tell is that he just pulled the emergency brakes to try to stop the train, but unfortunately still died. Even if the train was empty he should have done the same thing; he's just being a professional. I'd feel it's a bit much to call myself a hero for just doing my job.
@@Loli.Rancher Yup. It's not just you. Everyone really wants to paint the guy a hero for doing his job and if you question it, you lack empathy (according to them).
Though I may not speak Chinese, I can feel the language of that guys pain. May he rest in peace.
Emotions sometimes don't need
Fabric of words
When someone cries for you, it just means you did something great to that person's life.
Tragic; our prayers and thoughts with them and families
@sandy indian goverment moment
Thoughts and prayers 🙏 thoughts and prayers 🙏
@sandy People are paying their respects and here you are with your hate speech. Were you waiting for an Indian to comment so that you can reply with this bullsh*t? Atleast act like you have a working brain dude.
@sandy angry?
@sandy Shame ?
He did what he needed to do, he will forever be remembered and treasured.. r.i.p Yang Yong.. 我们会想你的……
Rip angel to save all your passengers life you're truly a hero
You will see that petterns in china whenever a big accident occurred, for hide their mistakes and technical failures, they make a guy Hero !
So people don't questions about their failures but have only sympathy for them.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Yang Yong?
No.
He could save the lives of others,but not his own......
Rest in peace. You will be remembered.🙏🙏🙏
I am speechless
Great honor for us here in Indonesia
We as Rail fans from Indonesia
"Keep the engine still on the track our hero"
What a hero. Bless his sole. Humanity exist due to this types of people. Condolences to his family.
Rip hero. You saved many lives.
His "Yong" means courageous in Mandarin. A truly courageous gentleman RIP
This man died a hero saving all his passengers. Rest In Peace. 🙏🏻
Putting yourself in service of others... and preventing loss of life, that's a hero! 💡👏🏻
He was an ex paramilitary police, he did his duty to the end like a people's protector he was.
This man makes a selfless action and sacrifices himself to save his passenger, very huge respect for the driver. RIP.
Our prayers with families and yet he saved many lives
A man who thought about everyone else in his charge and care first before himself and saving them all above himself. It's tough to be courageous, but he did it being a hero saving so many lives. Not all heroes wear super spandex material and capes. He will be remembered by all the lives he saved and the impact all those lives saved will have in continuity as those people go about their lives saved from what could have been a tragedy.
Brave man. Thank you for doing the right thing no matter the cost
This hero deserves a true story movie, hopefully someone will make one for him
Pilot will be eternally remembered for his bravery 🦋💯
This is why train tracks needs to be clean when there's trains on track. I feel so bad for him lossing his life to save the passengers he's a true hero I hope he won't be forgotten
What a Heroic Train Driver. I hope his soul is in heaven right now!
seeing his collegue cry was heartbreaking. I pray for his family.
Thank you king for saving passengers , you will be known as an hero now sleep well and rest in peace now
One life in exchange for more than 140.... May he rest well. His sacrifice will be remembered for generations to come.
I never thought trains could be so dangerous. He did his job and saved people even if it's the last thing he did
will there ever be a safe form of transport and not dangerous? NO, wether its cars, bus, boat, planes etc people die from them
It's always safe until it's not. Also China has been known to cut quality in certain places. So the reason why there's dirt on the tracks could due to cutting the time for ground survey and not making needed safety buffers and arrangements.
I guess now they will be building walls to prevent ingress of foreign objects from the hills ...
@Yong Zhou Exactly.
Even I'm a grown up female I do play train toy when I was young, how come a real one. If there is something stucked or debris in the rail way,what would u think will happen to the train itself or even the train toy car?
"If you want to save someone you have to stop worrying about yourself.", that's what makes a man.
A salute for a true hero may you rest in peace sir!
He passed with honor, saving everyone. True legend. May his soul rest in peace.
He made the Greatest sacrifice.
R.I.P........
very tragic. praise this driver that saved so many lives, very heroic and will be remembered
salute to the fallen hero sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️
When I saw the accident in the news, I immediately knew that he sacrificed his life to save other... What a hero!
I'm really confused why people keep saying he sacrificed his own life for everyone else's? Yes he did amazing by pulling the emergency break. But what exactly is the sacrifice he made for them?
He is in charge of heaven now.. legends never die
Rest in peace Yang Yong. You will be missed. Thank you for saving so many lives
Rest in paradise , you died a hero
Amen Amen
I don't know him but I'm Proud of him ❤
Yang yong give all it takes to save hundred lives, its really sad that we lost a real life hero like him.
May his soul rest in peace🙏
I think the most selfless thing one can do as a human is sacrifice their life while saving someone else. Rest in peace, Yang Yong.
Did he sacrifice his life? What did he do to save others that caused his death? He is definitely amazing for acting quickly and activating the emergency break. But I don't understand why people are saying he sacrificed his life for theirs?
You earned my respect rip 🙏 to your soul
Wow what an amazing story, this train driver should be given a statue near the train station to be remembered for what he did, he saved some many people's lives but understood he may have to die.
What a heroic sacrifice, my condolonces from canada.
Rest in peace you have save so many life🙏we need more people like you.
You're a hero mr.yang yong. Rest in paradise ❤️
I would only call a person hero when he indeed had chance to save his life but he didn’t . This driver has no chance to run away for his own life at all.
Rest in peace real life hero
Respect. My love goes towards his family. 🇨🇦.
RIP brave human being
Selfless actions create hero's.. Rest in peace young man, my sincere condolences to his family and friends ❤️
Respect towards man among men
This man’s selfless act saved over a hundred passengers. Rest In Peace.
My dear sincere condolence 🙏 I'm speechless,no words can express my sincerity and honor of hero Yang Yong.May his family and loved ones be comforted ❤️
What a hero! Prayers to his family, friends and colleagues who are suffering from such a loss. It is such a terrible terrible way to lose someone you love but take heart that his actions are known and appreciated around the world and all those people on that train will think of him for the rest of their lives. I hope the psychological damage isn’t felt too badly and those affected get help quickly. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
I bet his soul was proud af to see that he saved them all
He gave his life for 140 people... Most of us could only dream of going out with such meaning. My condolences to this angel and his family
Incredible, way to go, fine Sir.
這位火車駕駛捨身救人，犧牲自己的生命，救了火車上的乘客，他是位英雄及勇士(Warrior)。向所有捨命救人的駕駛致上最高敬意，Salute!
Hats off to the person and his family. Saving lives matters a lot. Humanity is fading these days with some hints like this remaining.
As the old saying goes "the captain goes down with the ship". Great he saved all of his passengers. May he be remembered.
True but not all, only the coward korean captain was the first to flee the sinking ship in 2014 which cost the lives of more than 200 students and teachers
He who saves one life saves the world entire. Rest in peace Hero.
More over its a bullet train , a small slip may cause a big disaster leading to so many deaths , he is a person to be remembered by those who saved by him hats off
All jobs are dangerous but by differentdegrees; he stood his ground and did his job correctly until the end. Condolences to his family and friends .
He saved 140 people, yet cannot save himself. A heroic sacrifice befitting for a man with honor. Godspeed you madlad.
He died as a hero, Rest in Peace
Sure he is in heaven right now.. thank u for your service Mr. DRIVER. REST IN PEACE
My sincere respect and condolences to his family and the friends. A True Hero.
"It's kinda ironic that he can save everybody's lives but not himself." Don't know where I got this lines but this sent a strong message.

Rest in peace Hero 🙏🙏🙏
My Heart melted when when his colleague cried 😌
In the line of duty & while saving many lives! That's a heroic death. Something most men of our generation is oblivious to. RIP Yang 💐 You will always be a hero
You may have been born a Chinese citizen bounded by family, colleagues and friends but sir, now you're a world famous superhero ❤️ no amount of gratitude can justify your sacrifice, you're the angel people prayed to when they boarded your train ❤️ Rest in heaven sir, generations will live to tell your tale ✨❤️ I see it like you're truly god's favourite for having such a heroic departure 🙏 condolences from Malaysia to his loved ones
This man is legend!! Condolences to his family and dear ones ,,,Rest in peace 💓💓💓
He did his job with the upmost diligence and for that many lives were spared and families grief. He should be remembered for his valiant sacrifice to save others.
Rest in Peace, Yang Yong. A great soul will be remembered forever.
A true hero indeed.
Sorry for him and his friend, he loves him like a brother.
He deserves peace
There isn't a greater death
Do not feel bad for him
Be greatful people like him still exist
#weneedmoreheroes
He kept his duty first and himself last, I salute him for this.
So sad indeed, my eyes were wet when his male colleague lament his tragic death.
Someone pls make a movie about him someday! This man should be remembered forever! A true hero! RIP
