A man that normally replaces windows for a living, Robin Dehaven, also an army veteran had saved many lives from a tragic plane crash. It is said that the pilot intentionally meant to crash into the building with passangers on board and 200 people inside of the building. "The people were kind of in a panic, wanting to get out quickly, of course, so I climbed up into the building with them," Dehaven said. Dehaven said that his clear mind and calmness helped him greatly with the rescue. Though many people were panicked most got out safely, including the 5 that Dehaven had rescued with a ladder on the top floor. 13 people were injured and 2 people's remains were found.
I believe that this is a Very heoric story. It's scary though to think that we have more planes crashing into building, especially after the 9-11 attack. This scares me and possibly other people on what other things could happen in the future, if all this is happening 9 years later, what could happen then years from now? I belive Dehaven used his skills greatly and officiently that he used in the Army during this event. It helped everyone stay calm and helped with panic as mostly everyone out of the building. I think more people need to be like the "true texan" as Dehaven says and have more selfless acts of heroism.
