The bloke is far from a hero in my eyes. Shouldn't be treated like one.
Ended up costing nearly $800k for a charter flight from Saipan.
The whole amount was raised by crowd funding in the end

The amount was raised by private donors, not public funds.

The only 2 survivors of the horrific plane crash in South Korea were at the back of the plane, so it’s not a myth that your best chance of survival is back there.

Unbelievable that anyone could have survived.

I regularly flew into Incheon Airport in the early 2000's
First time I went there I looked out the window and went WTF
There were AA guns along the perimeter fence - more scary was that they were manned!
