Even if the man had failed to save the child, he exhibited incredible bravery stepping into the fire ~ everything that happened after that is an afterthought.

Agreed. The fact he did save the child is a bonus. We are now left with the conundrum of the post-mortem visit by the father. And such a kind message he brought. I would like to think that in my first steps in the afterlife I would have such care for others.

I don’t think it’s bravery at all. I think its fear of what it would feel like to NOT crawl into that fire standing there watching two people burn to death.

A large surge of adrenlin makes one super human...I remember watching this film about a helicopter that crashed and a guy picked it up to get the passenger out...it boggles the mind what we are capable of..expecially when you see someone picking up a helicopter...not a military one, it was like a traffic report kind of copter...

PS The guys name was Tiny and we weighed in at about 300 pounds....
