"I recall seeing a news broadcast when a passenger plane crashed through the ice of a Washington D.C. river (Potomac?). The film crew showed a fellow on the water surface who pushed a lady onto the ice from which she was rescued. The next picture was of an empty place where the guy used to be. He drowned. "Bravery" is much more common than most of us suspect. Much of it goes unnoticed."

I posted that at 7:46 PM as in 12 minutes ago and 7 minutes before your initial post, Kendall. Scary, huh?
