Some say the days of superhero's and legendary figures like John Wayne and George Patton are over. That is true, we no longer have many of our legendary figures, and never did have anyone flying in tights and a cape; withouth the help of a Boeing anyway.
However if we look just a little closer we realize that we don't need a cape or big name to be a hero. This woman simply did her job, and 6 lives were saved. She took her job as a school bus driver and her position as a public service vehicle operating license seriously. She was responsible for the souls in her bus, and she did her job in removing them at the first sign of trouble. At this point I am unaware of what caused the combustion, or whether it was preventable, but she did the right thing at the right time, and for that she should be commended.
We don't need capes and tights, we need sound brains that think in action. We need common sense. We need people who are willing to stand up and fight for what they believe and for other people who are unable to protect themselves.
