"It doesn’t matter where you call home in the world or your status, you just have to care enough about your fellow human beings, and have the courage to do what’s right.
"He deserves to be called a hero…and given a medal."

Annette Caforio commented:

"Just incredible!...."being at the right place at the right time"....or....Allah's intervention?....I love the hero's comments. Great video !!"

Artan Myrataj reacted:

"In a panicky situation most of people would just panic and loose concentration so the result is disastrous. Only a hero concentrates on doing the best of the moment and hence the result. Well done."
