Quick thinking Hero

[Tribesman]

If he was that quick thinking he could have done some crazy manouvers to avoid killing the poor little geese .

NOBODY does extensive practice in successfully ditching an aircraft except amphib pilots.

Yep , it works out a little bit expensive when people practice ditching aircraft . Maybe Hooah was thinking about the military ditching training where they dump a cockpit into a big swimming pool .
Then again perhaps he was thinking of that pilot called Orr who kept practicing ditching his aircraft so he could get to Sweden .

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 arse?

He wasn't saving his own by walking up and down the aisle of the plane two times before exiting, and when it comes to the landing itself, those pilots are aware that they are responsible for the lives of many people, one could say they#re more eager to try extra hard.

If he was that quick thinking he could have done some crazy manouvers to avoid killing the poor little geese .

But I hope you know what a load of tripe that is.
Thinking about it, it must be a joke...
