Saw this on the news now, and heard the speeches by the politicians. Which got me thinking....
What is heroism? Isn't heroism defined as an action where you save/help others while endangering your own person? How can this man be a "hero" then? What he did was do a good job, but I can't honestly see how you can define it as heroism. He did what everyone else in his situation would have done/tried. What he did was a very good job. But I can't see how it was heroism. It was self-preservation.
How can you be a hero when what you're doing is saving your own?
