THAT PILOT IS A HERO
« on: January 16, 2009, 02:35:00 PM »
He said-
He was "doing his job"
How many of us have said: thats not my job, when asked to-
empty the garbage can
change the kids diaper
sweep up after the last shift
finish a part that the last guy didn't have time to finish:

He walked the aisles twice to make sure everyone was out after the crash landing. Pretty sure the last MTC driver I saw would have had two heart attacks before he saw the last row!

Everyone on that plane was fortunate that this guy was the captain.  Not only cool in an emergency, he had incredibly good credentials and experience to handle the situation, he was indeed conscientious and heroic and did his job fantastically.  I sure am glad for everyone on the plane and for their families.

I couldn't agree with you more.  It has turned me off on professional sports as I just don't enjoy watching a bunch of millionaires running around.  High school football?  Much more exciting to me.  We can't forget other real heroes - loving parents taking care of their handicapped children, loving children taking care of their elderly parents, people who work in food pantries, disaster relief, fighting forest fires, our military - well, we have lots of heroes.  They just don't get the fame and fortune but they are real heroes.

That's the thing about REAL heroes...  They don't do it for the fame and fortune. ;)
