Long live Jasper Schuringa, Dutch hero who puts the cabosh to the old slang term "Dutch courage" -- this man was the real McCoy, er, the real Flying Dutchman! BRAVO!
BRAVO! Long may he live and long may his movies find audiences!

The hero of flight Northwest airlines 253 terrorist attack has been named! Jasper Schuringa, a director from Amsterdam, is the man who jumped on suspected terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab when he set off a small explosion on the plane. Schuringa not only grabbed the burning device from the suspect but then helped subdue him with the help of the plane's crew.
Jasper told reporters that he heard a sound that sounded like fireworks and then saw smoke and noticed fire on the suspect's lap. He sprang into action, grabbed the burning object from the suspect with his hands, extinguished the flames and then stripped the suspect to check for other explosives AND held him while the crew handcuffed Abdulmutallab.
Jasper Schuringa suffered some burns as a result of his quick action and has said he is "pretty shaken up."
Clearly an act of bravery on the part of Jasper Schuringa and we should all be grateful to him.
