Thanks to a quick-thinking -- and strong -- security officer at LAX, a man was saved from jumping off a 60-foot bridge recently at LAX. Oftentimes, security officers are called to do things that are not necessarily in the job description, but they do so, because of their commitment to the job and to the safety of others. So, props to the unnamed, unsung hero in this video and may the man he saved get the help he needs. -- IFPO.
