It makes me think more about what makes a hero. Perhaps it is as much the perseption of the person who views someone as a hero as anything the "hero" does to make them one. A person can do something that is considered heroic by one or more people, but then be a complete creep in other areas of their life. Therefore, that person would not be a hero in everyone's eyes. I also agree with your hope that all pilots, (cab drivers, bus drivers, etc.) would be able to apply their training to avoid disaster in any situation while on the job.Marcia Hershhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01882096009906589845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33909439.post-26513113614366993262009-01-21T06:17:00.000-06:002009-01-21T06:17:00.000-06:00About the Hero thing, I'm not saying he isn't a hero, I'm just saying that I would hope that ALL pilots could pull off what he did, as it is part of their training!<BR/><BR/>In the end, it was a mixture of luck and skill that saved all those people, and yes, he should be rewarded.Nathanhttp://loantime.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
