A Pilot Performs a Good Deed

I found this article amazing.  A pilot held his flight from taking off until the grandfather of a child who was soon to be taken off life support reached the plane, even greeting him personally and apologizing for his grandson’s coming death.  The grandson was injured by the boyfriend of his mother for a reason not specified in the article.  The pilot of the plane is now being considered a hero by many.  I agree, as it is very kind of the pilot to have held the flight of many people by 12 minutes, despite the fact that it would likely result in many angry travelers.   If the pilot had not done this, the grandfather would never have had the chance to see his grandson alive one last time.  What makes this story even more unique is that nowadays, traveling using the airport has become increasingly tedious for travelers, with the many flight rules and regulations, as well as the extensive security measures in place, such as the full-body scanner.  Irritated travelers often forget that airline employees also get annoyed as well.  I believe that stories like this should be more commonplace.  When one turns on the news on television or opens up a newspaper, most of the stories they see are generally negative and display something bad that happened or that is currently going on.  It is somewhat rare to find a story such as this with a positive event.  People should read this and consider beginning to do more good deeds, as they make the quality of life for everyone better.  Good deeds such as the one seen in this article help make the world a better place and help spread positivity.  If everyone in the world did good deeds like this, the world would be one step closer to a utopian society.  The pilot in this article is a hero, and hopefully many people will follow his example and perform good deeds, helping contribute to a better, safer, and happier world.
