I'm sorry, but that information he learned in AA, is pretty much common knowelege for someone of his age.  If the guy was 13 and did that, then that would impress me.  Those 'techniques' he learned in the game, I learned in Health class like 15 years ago.  Although what he did was very commendable and he should be considered a hero to the people involved in the accident.

I agree most people know those things to do but having the courage to get out there and do it knowing you are right he probably got from gaming.
