Well the definition of awesome includes scary and inspirational. That was pretty scary and pretty inspirational. You're choosing to put the 'cool' on the attack, not the events opposing it, and I think it was pretty clear he found her actions impressive and inspirational and 'great'. He obviously considers this woman's actions heroic.
The firefighters who responded to the attacks on the WTC were heroes. But it's not a great story; it's a tragedy.

+1 - A mother protecting/perhaps even saving her kids from a criminal is a GREAT story. *NM*

Story can be fiction or non-fiction, and that's an irrelevant point anyway, Apollo 13 was real

You're right--nothing can be good if a better situation might have hypothetically been possible
