This is great feel good story for a change- Without a second thought they came together to help out a fellow human being in need. :patriot:

Description;"Bystanders stopped to help police lift a burning car that hit and dragged a motorcyclist in Logan, Utah. The cyclist was rescued by a group who picked up the car and pulled the man out from under the wreckage."

edited to add, I'm sorry, video doesn't allow embedding.:-(

3. Great how everybody pitched in to help.

The description says bystanders helped police lift burning car. The video shows the "bystanders" doing all the helping

Also looks like the kid under the car had no helmet.




Thanks, Diana, for that uplifting video.

4. Once in a while, a good story comes to our attention in this world.

Not quite sure how this is a "political" video, but the rules here sometimes are a bit too rigid not to share stories like this, in the face of those Tea baggers cheering for the death of the uninsured.

6. Now that's heroism! The car could have exploded and killed them all.

I'm glad to read the motorcyclist is recovering and no one else was hurt. Three cheers for those people!

7. Wow. Good job!!

Also, do you have a fire extinguisher in your vehicle?

They come in handy.

9. update- comment from the cyclist's brother

"That is my brother in this video & he is luckily alive and well in a hospital. Thanks for all of those who have prayed for him and thought about him in any way. & IF anyone reads this, that was there to help save my brother, my family and I could not ever thank you enough. Heroes is what you people are, heroes.
Thank you once again for saving his life."

10. Notice how the guy in the business suit at the top of the frame does nothing to help.

A nice allegory for the state of corporate America.
Meanwhile, a woman in flip-flops is the first to hit the ground to check on the guy.
Kudos to all that helped move that car!
