[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3658397, member: 1719"] I’m not sure we are comparing apples to apples here. A plane with hundreds of people onboard is taken under far different circumstances and with far greater risk to life then a smash and grab pack of hoodlum kids robbing a convince store. Todd used the information he had collected to make a quickly calculated, brave, selfless decision. Him along with all the other passengers did not immediately act when the terrorists took control of the plane. They formed a plan and acted upon it. At that time they knew they (and everyone on the plane) might as already of been dead. Any plan was better then nothing. No additional risk……. Tons of possible reward. The convenience store customer greatly increased the odds of himself and others getting hurt or killed. If my wife and kids were there and took a rouge round because he decided to be a hero he is assuming that responsibility also. This is not too far fetched considering he tried to grab it while it was being pointed towards the back of the store My opinion given the information at hand is too little reward for too much risk.
