Yes, that kid surely had more presence of mind then even adults today.
Lovely and detailed write up, only one negative. And it's the same one that got us into this mess to begin with.
The majority of people who would have/will have watched the video of this 17 year old, won't even have enough presence of mind to analyze the behavior and the reasons behind his actions not even the difficulty and rarity of his behavior that night.
They will either see someone normal or doing nothing special or see what they think is something they would also do, "easily!!!" Had that been them, or even worst, their own child would have done the same... Hah, some would even make the claim their child would have done better somehow!
At least we see it and at least he did it.
A true American hero.
When I see examples of behavior like this, I truly feel a charity and a an NGO needs to be setup to not only assist the hero and their family, financially, but to defend them. he needs more time to grow and experience life, to truly grow into his future self. That can't be interrupted.
