Uh. Die Hard was fictional. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 08/01/2013 12:36:05 AM
Well the definition of awesome includes scary and inspirational. That was pretty scary and pretty inspirational. You're choosing to put the 'cool' on the attack, not the events opposing it, and I think it was pretty clear he found her actions impressive and inspirational and 'great'. He obviously considers this woman's actions heroic.


The firefighters who responded to the attacks on the WTC were heroes. But it's not a great story; it's a tragedy.
