Tug boat driver hailed a Qld flood hero

The tug boat driver who averted a disaster by steering a 300-tonne piece of debris clear of Brisbane's major bridge is playing down his position as a Queensland flood hero.

A part of a floating boardwalk torn loose from the riverside at inner-city New Farm on Wednesday night was sailing down the Brisbane River at an estimated 10-12 knots on Thursday morning.
