Dilmer, six-foot-three, two hundred
eighty pounds, was thrown from
his seat when the Southern Railway train
he was riding derailed.
The giant teenager flew a dozen feet
through the air before hitting
headfirst against a steel partition.
For a moment Dilmer lay dazed,
rubbing his head. The conductor came
by and kneeled down beside him.
„Don’t move!“ said the
conductor. „We’ve called an ambulance.“
„Naw,“ said the boy, getting
to his feet. „I ain’t hurt so bad.
That steel wall musta broke my
fall!“
