how is this risking his own life....the term HERO is used way too often and not for the right reason....like the pilot who landed his plane on the river in new york...it was either land or crash and he did his job "well" no doubt but certainly not heroic.

those who have qualities of a HERO, never worry what would be the outcome of any such incident but they would rather work overtime to help the victims of any kind of disasters but the sorry picture of the story is that such people are often misuderstood ,misguided and mistreated by those who are helped as a human being
