Yes! Exactly~ I like seeing the Right Thing be something that really matters in terms of the story and the effectiveness of a scene. Too often it's the bad or tragic things that are meant to leave an impact.

Yeah, it does seem rare for the good/inspiring moments to also be the ones that hit hardest, now that you mention it. That's probably another reason I liked that scene so much. Right when you're fully expecting something horrible to happen, the characters do something noble instead. Compared to that, the spectacle of one of the boats actually blowing up would have been nothing.

Haha, yeah, my chair kind of sucks too. XD (Of course, it probably doesn't help that I never sit properly.)
