BULL SHIT LAH!
What hero? I won't even give a shit to this if I was on the plane myself with my family.
That tiny pack of thing was unable to even blow of the fellow's legs. And his balls are still there intact. What hero was that?
Who did he saved?
NO BODY!
If there was a real bomb the plane and all on board would had been splashed all over already how could that be stop if it was for real. No chance.
It was just an Al Qaeda Wanabe pulling a joke in the plane that's all.
Hero claim? Just like SAF jokers who claimed hero to shoot dead Pakistanis who had nothing but SIA butter knifes and some tiny bag of harmless fireworks.
BTW, I grew up playing these fireworks myself from few years old. Only these days Singaporeans became SUAKU because PAP banned fireworks & fire crackers. We used to throw firecrackers into each others home with neighbours' kids during CNY. They are even less harmful than SAF trainings' thunderflash.
If you threw that at me, I would just throw another piece back at you and laugh.
