Everyone's a damn hero these days. How exactly is the pilot of yesterday's US Airways a hero? Is everyone a hero for doing their job now? Don't get me wrong, i'm very glad that everyone made out safely in that accident, but c'mon. Granted he stayed calm and landed the plane well, and i think he deserves a bonus check for surviving a crucial test, but i wouldn't label him a hero. Now if the plane crashed and passengers were out in the river and he were to risk his own life swimming in the river to rescue them, then i'd say he'd be a hero.
a horrible post.... here is a guy who landed a plane in a river and saved 155+ and factor in how many of these survivors' families wouldve been impacted... how many kids wouldve lost their mother, father, grandparent, etc... this guy is much more of a hero than say a bill maz who hit a hr to end the world series or any other sports figues PERIOD... this guy is a hero and if u dont think he is u are foolish... u need to really get with life my friend because for u to make a post like that tells me that u are absolutely clueless in life...
word def thrown around a lot...especially in the sports world but when a pilot lands a plane on water and 150 people are safe and unharmed he is a hero in my book. I mean when a fireman puts out a fire and drags ten people out of a building thats engulfed in flames is he a hero? According to you hes not...hes just doing his job...cmonnnnnn
Difference is this pilot had just as much to gain by a safe landing as the passengers since he couldnt exactly eject himself out like a fighterpilot would if his plane was going down, on the other hand a fireman actually goes from being into a safe secure area and dives right into to hell on earth with the sole mission of saving lives and minimalizing property damage. No comparison IMO.
