Todd and Brant come to Canberra

Good to see that Todd Russell and Brant Webb, the two miners rescued from the Beaconsfield mine, have their heads screwed on right.   Speaking at a reception held in Canberra today to honour the rescuers and others involved with the recent events in Beaconsfield, they showed refreshing modesty and commonsense.

Said Brant  Webb:

“We’re not heroes of course. People that saved us are the heroes
but at the end of the day we’re just really glad, really happy to
be here and I think we’ll just go for the ride if that’s alright,
Todd.”

and from Todd Russell:

“All the people in this room today, they’re the true heroes,
they’re the ones that risked their lives to free Brant and myself.
They’re the ones that left loved ones at home knowing the dangers
were there,”
