Fireman saves ferry passengers

An holidaying Australian firefighter has been hailed as a hero after he helped almost 80 people leap to safety from a blazing ferry as it sank off the coast of Thailand last week.
Passengers described how the cool-headed Adelaide fireman Nathan Berry helped rescue panicking passengers who could not swim as the burning vessel sank on its approach to Phi Phi island, on Tuesday morning.
"I made a quick decision, the fire was going to get real big, that's when I started grabbing life buoys and giving instructions to people." Nathan Berry declared.
