Truly impressive and heroic.
Wow!
Teamwork made it possible. One of the best videos I've ever seen.

If someone had written that into a movie, I would have rolled my eyes.
ETA: Imagine trying to tell that story without the video: "So I was at the end of my shift when a guy crash landed a plane onto the train tracks...."

The insurance claim for the airplane should be epic.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
The body-cam shows four (plus the camera guy, so five) officers. There is room only for two of them when it comes to removing the pilot. Three officers (including the body-cam guy) are pretty much just standing around in the event they might find something useful to do.
Those three are the wonder. Loyalty to the team? In spades. Commitment to the job? Spades. Judgement? Zero.
There's something I've noticed about damn near every truly heroic act ever performed - there was almost always a better way to save the day.
I'm grateful that bona-fide heroes just do the best they can with what they know and have at the time, instead of hesitating or agonizing over perfection.
Yes, there's lessons to be learned in every emergency, and I think that's the point you're trying to make.
But it'd do some good for this world if we all took a little more time to appreciate the remarkable bravery and the good outcome from that bravery before we start sharpshooting their actions.
