hero

My buddy Keith actually flies a small aircraft from time to time and I find it amazing. You'll never catch me up in one of those things. I recall saying to him once, 'fly safe, good luck'. Then I thought, was I implying that something bad might happen? Well, it did during this flight in London.

Gustavo Chaparro is the police officer in Colombia who is being called a hero. After footage hit YouTube that shows him saving the life of a suicidal man, his fellow citizens rejoiced. The video shows a man who was trying to jump in front of a train, being snatched by Gustavo at the very last second.

Like most tourists in Florida, Gus Hertz was probably just hoping for some relaxing time in the sun. Instead, the Virginia man became a hero after rescuing three people in two separate incidents over a two day period. Well, that puts us to shame. The most we ever managed on vacation is a mean case of sunburn.
