Yes. I looked up the dictionary definition of "hero" I had always imagined that a hero was one who put his own life at risk either to save others or for a just cause. If one would now google "hero" other inclusions might be seen.
When I was a new pilot in aviation, I remember some advice. If you care about your own survival you don't need to worry about how many hundreds of passengers you have behind you. You will do what is necessary for your own survival and then your passengers will be OK too.
