What is a "Hero"

[Miss Demeanour]

First crash on water I ever heard of where anyone survived. I think he did well

Yes, but not a hero!  

Why so miffed BM ?

This was not part of his job that he ever thought he would have to do , and lets be honest, survive if it happened.

To all those people that are petrified of flying it might offer just a glimmer of hope in their catastrophic outlook and to all the families of those people on board the plane he will never be viewed as anything else.

Of course it was part of his job!

So if you were the pilot of this aircraft and both engines had gone just after take off I presume you would be fairly confident (after your extensive and expensive training) of being at home for dinner that evening
