Indeed, to prove that “heroes” are not mighty warriors with the biggest gun, largest knife and smallest self-esteem…
Brussels Airport luggage handler named as “hero” after pulling wounded people to safety during attacks (independent.co.uk).
“A luggage handler has emerged as a hero in the Brussels attacks after witnesses told how he pulled seven wounded people to safety. Alphonse Lyoura, an airport baggage security officer at Zaventem Airport in Brussels, did not flee the scene when two bomb blasts erupted in the departures area on Tuesday but began to help the injured, according to the BBC. … [One Twitter user] said: ‘Alphonse you’ve just exposed [the terrorists] failure. If one of us still selflessly help others, they haven’t won. They will never win.’ [Another] said terrorism showed ‘who the real heroes were. Terrorists create heroes. The hero doesn’t care about your religion, the hero is just a good human being.’”
