These Guys Deserve a DB

Hope They Get Recognition

One of the most spectacular things on display on the video of the crash yesterday afternoon at the Auckland Viaduct Harbour came after the helicopter had crashed.  Whilst not shown on some versions, the video below shows three men leaping up onto the wreckage and into the cab to assist the pilot.

In our view, these guys deserve a medal.  The downed bird could have gone up in a flash of exploding av-gas, but without a thought these guys jump up onto the wreckage to get the pilot out.  Selfless.  Very brave.

Bet they didn't give it a second thought. 



Makes you proud to be a Kiwi.
