Bravery award for air traffic controller?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/7148596.stm

‘‘Bravery Noun Definition - the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. It can be divided into "physical courage" — in the face of physical pain, hardship, and threat of death — and "moral courage" — in the face of shame, scandal, and discouragement’’

Admittedly some cool headed controlling from a relatively inexperienced controller but deserving of a ‘bravery’ award?

Sitting on the ground in safety was never considered ‘brave’ when I controlled but going by this, I should have been awarded a Knighthood by now or at least a few free calls on my mobile courtesy of Vodafone!
