The heroic airman who helped subdue a terrorist on a high speed train in France last month got some awesome surprises during his visit to the Jimmy Kimmel show on Tuesday.


Airman Spencer Stone, 23, appeared on the show and talked about what happened on Aug. 21, when a terrorist attempted to attack a high speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris. Stone, along with his friend Anthony Sadler and Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, subdued the gunman and thwarted a potential massacre.

"I hit the ground with him [and] I was kind of reaching for the gun, I couldn't find it," Stone told Jimmy Kimmel. "So I just put him in a rear naked choke just to protect myself ... Right away he pulled another handgun, pointed at the back of my head, click, pulled the trigger. It didn't work either. So God was with me on that one for sure."

After retelling the story of the train attack, Kimmel noted that Stone was a fan of the Golden State Warriors. "We have a visitor outside who wants to say hello," Kimmel said, as video cuts to Warriors guard Klay Thompson. He drove up in a Chevy Camaro and made his way to the studio, presenting Stone with a jersey and his hat.

And then, he gave him the keys.
