The sad thing about all of this is, the robber got away with the money, but did not have the brains to realise all these cases have an exploding dye pack inside, which would have ruined the money anyway. Good news they got the idiot that did it anway.

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

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...

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.

What a sad society we live in when we question this guys actions, but yet we have stopped questioning why this crime took place in the first place!

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

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

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?
