What's more successful the guy who runs into a burning building and save's
his children from burning alive, or the guy who installs smoke detectors
which go off and everybody gets out before there is real danger to begin
with. One may make a better news story and be more heroic, but I know which
one I would call more successful.

Don't get me wrong, the guys on the scene did a wonderful job, but there
was immense amounts of luck involved here, and stressful and lucky are two
different things.
