That was the right thing for that dad to do.

Yes and he looked a bit like that dad who wet his pants with water to go pick up his daughter who had similar accident.

"I go sit at a restaurant by myself and realize that, man that's pretty enjoyable to do. … I tell people all the time I used to see guys sitting at a bar by themselves, or just sitting by themselves eating, and grabbing a little meal. And I'm like, 'Man, I feel so bad for that guy.' You always want to go join them. And now I realize that dude was in heaven. And not to say - that's obviously not what I want. I'd rather be at home sitting at the dinner table with my kids and hearing what the hell they were talking about all day. But if you have to do it, then you might as well take advantage of it." - Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals

Unless the kid thought your wet pants were mocking her.

Brave AI:

On 10 June 1990, British Airways Flight 5390, en route from Birmingham to Málaga, Spain, experienced a catastrophic event when the captain’s side cockpit windscreen blew out due to improperly installed, incorrectly sized screws, causing explosive decompression at an altitude of approximately 17,300 feet.

The sudden pressure differential violently sucked Captain Tim Lancaster halfway out of the cockpit, with his body partially exposed to the extreme conditions of high-speed winds and sub-zero temperatures, while his legs remained trapped under the control column.

In a remarkable display of teamwork and composure, the first officer, Alastair Atchison, managed the aircraft alone while two flight attendants, Nigel Ogden and Simon Rogers, held onto Lancaster’s legs to prevent him from being completely ejected, a situation that lasted for about 20 minutes.

Despite suffering severe injuries including frostbite, fractures, and shock, Lancaster survived and made a full recovery, returning to flying just five months later, while the aircraft made a successful emergency landing in Southampton.
