Dramatic rescue Firefighters rescue a family from a car dangling over a bridge after a fiery crash, Jan. 12, on Highway 101 near Buellton, Calif. The accident claimed the life of a truck driver.
A team of Navy Seabees happened to be passing by the scene, and the fire crew used a Seabees heavy forklift to stabilize the dangling car. A mother and her two daughters were taken to the hospital.–

So, a military unit is really who did the saving in the picture.

This same type of thread keeps coming back around, and the basic problem that exists here is simple: the definition of hero.
Some people throw the word around like it's cheap candy at Halloween, and others use it much more sparingly, like when someone really does something utterly special, unexpected and not in their normal job description...
