    Pretty awesome story. Hats off to the kid for knowing what to do in a circumstance such as that. He kept his cool and took control.
    (side note;I must admit I chuckled abit when I read the part about the boy smacking his dad asking him if he was okay. Sorry)

    hell, I #### near teared up readin' about his daddy callin' him his hero and when the kid said "I just did the stuff. I thought... I should just do what my Dad does." And all the kid wants is a Playstation!? Great job, Matty! And hats off to the Good Samaritan who finished bringing the truck to a halt.
