Where are all the heros gone?

I'd like to share a touching story with you, As far as I know it's true. A bloke notices a crowd gathering in his street, so he goes over to see what is going on. It isn't long before he realises there is a house on fire one of the onlookers explains that there is two young children trapped inside. Horrorfied by the fact that none of the crowd watching seem to be willing or able to do anything to help. The bloke decides he can't stand around doing nothing, so he enters the burning building once inside he manages to find the little boy and get him to safety. unfortunately the heat of the blaze prevented him from entering the building a second time and the little girl perished. The Father asked our hero if he would be able to carry his daughters coffin at the funeral. Unfortunately as he was wracked by guilt due to his inability to save her the bloke wasn't sure what to do. This was the story as it was told to me. As a Father myself you can imagine how this story touched me.
