    Old news, yes, but still a great story.

    Nice that he got rewarded for it:

    "The Indian government is to decorate Shrestha with its Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Medal and the 35-year-old is leaving for India Saturday to receive the first of the awards on the occasion of India´s Republic Day on January 26.

    “The formal announcement of the awards will be made on Republic Day and on Independence Day on August 15,” said Shrestha, whose father Gopal Babu also retired from the same 7/8 Platoon of the Gorkha Regiment around 29 years ago.

    His regiment has already given him a cash award of Indian rupees 50,000, and decided to terminate his voluntary retirement. He will get the customary promotion after receiving the medals. The Indian government will also announce a cash bounty for him and special discounts on international air tickets and domestic train tickets. "

    The family of the girl he saved tried to give him a reward too, but he turned it down. Classy guys, those Gurkha.

    Not seen that before. Fantastic story. Don't get me wrong, it must have been a terrifying experience to have to decide whether to take on so many people or play it safe (like everyone else) but damn that is an awesome confidence boosting weapon to have to hand.

    I'm not saying I wouldn't be ****ing in my pants, but, at the same time -- if you and I wouldn't have done the same thing for that girl, then there's something very wrong with us.

    Like the dude said, he did it because he's a human being, and she's a human being.



    That story is a keeper. Yep.

    Trust me, it's a box cutter ;)

    (Don't trust me at all, I have no clue, but for the sake of humor I found out while we were wearing out MyLittlePony masks and Tapout Shirts at our last get together at McDonalds for 2am cheeseburgers : P)

    Read this story some time ago.
    Respect for the man. Of course, in my country, he would be sued for murder and carrying an illegal weapon.

    I am worried we'll get something like this, only with a khukri in the other hand.
