You'd Do the Same For Me


When the plane hit the river and water started flowing into the cabin, passengers helped each other to the exits. The plane came to a stop in front of a river ferry, which immediately rushed to its side, and its passengers began a rescue operation, without instruction, authorities or hesitation. Passengers on the plane sent women and children to the ferry, and on the ferry, men helped them aboard while women gathered coats to warm them...It's the impulse and the ethic that holds a society together and makes it strong. Less ambiguous than the Golden Rule, it is the human rule: you'd do the same for me.
