Well he doesn't WANT
to look like a bitch!
Every once in a while, someone delivers a piece of oration that's above and beyond.

Sometimes, it's entirely fabricated, but based on such a strong message and delivered with such passion that it transcends to greatness. Charlie Chaplin delivered perhaps the most rousing, in-your-face monologue in cinema history, at a time when we needed it most.

Sometimes's it's a deep and meaningful idea, delivered with the hopes of shifting the world towards a slightly better future. Robert Krulwich's commencement speech at Caltech about the importance of fighting on behalf of science:

RadioLab: Tell Me a Story

Occasionally it's just an everyday normal guy, put into an incredible situation. Carl Pillitteri was the crew chief on duty on March 11th, 2011 at the reactor one primary steam turbine at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Generating Station. An incredible storyteller, with one hell of a tale to tell.

But every once in a very long while, the best possible person to handle the worst case scenario lives to tell about it. Denny Finch trained airline pilots how to handle impossibly difficult emergencies on the DC-10 aircraft. On July 19, 1989, he was aboard United flight 232. At 37,000 feet, all flight controls were lost. In an incredible bout of level-headedness and airmanship, combined with an incredible ability to crack jokes in the face of his own doom, he gives humanity a lesson in rising to the occasion.
