"I know Austin, and he was that kind of guy—having served two tours in Iraq; would give his life for his country, would give his life for a friend, would go the extra mile." -Ron Luce

Charisma News reported this week on the inspiring story of heroism that seemed the only bright spot in the otherwise devastating news of the fatal plane crash last Friday that ultimately took the lives of four Oral Roberts University students.

All five people in the plane were on their way to a Teen Mania event.

Initially, both reportedly survived the crash, and Anderson was able to pull Hannah to safety. However, the article stated that he was burned over 90 percent of his body.

While on and off the respirator in the Kansas City burn unit, Hannah did manage to write down on paper, "Austin saved me, Austin saved me, Austin saved me."

Ron Luce has called him a "true hero."
