Alexander Kaverin, the driver of the Saint Petersburg metro train hit by a deadly explosion yesterday, has become an unlikely hero in a tragedy that has claimed 14 lives and injured dozens. <br/><br/>The 50-year-old Russian appeared stunned in the spotlight of state television, describing how he had driven the train through to the next station despite smoke from a blast in one of its carriages. Kaverin said he had learned that in such situations, he needed to drive the train all the way to the next station. <br/><br/>Russian investigators said Kaverin had made the right decision by not stopping the train between two stations, which enabled quick evacuation of injured passengers. <br/><br/>The head of Saint Petersburg's metro, Vladimir Garyugin, said that Kaverin had been a "hero" Kaverin, who has worked at the Saint Petersburg metro for 15 years, will be rewarded for his actions, along with another unnamed employee who discovered a second bomb and called in experts to defuse it.
