    IT consultant have a go hero

    Sorry if you did this already, I have been away from the code face for a couple of days.

    Which of you chaps was it?

    In this modern era, do we think it was right and proper to step in and help or were the consequences glaringly obvious before hand?

    Has this chap raised the profile of IT consultants or made us look foolish?
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

    Like any sensible person confronted by a nutter with a gun.
    If it had been I wouldnt of got involved, bottom line by trying to be a hero, he risked his life and others around him. The banks are insured for this and procedure is just to not to put up a fight and just give over the cash.

    If I were me I would of got my phone out and started filming

        You mean - there's too many poor people driven to desperate measures like robbing banks?

          I wouldn't lift a finger to help a bank out like this until I'm convinced the banking industry would rally round to help me out of a tight spot.

          If it was a person's life in danger, then the situation would be different, but I guess nobody knows what they'd do until they are there.

              The reality is that none of us know what we would do unless we are in this situation...its surely an instinctive thing at the time...

                  Once you realise what money is you realise it's not worth any life.
