The cop was telling people to get back because of the fire.

How about the guy in the suit? Wait till his friends and family see the video where even a woman is trying to help lift the car but he just stands there and watches.

I don't think you're required by law to wear a helmet to ride in Utah.

I suppose it's amazing but it also seems kinda normal. A bunch of people nearby know he's under there and someone needs to do something about it. Is the amazing part that people lifted the car up? Not that hard with 8 or 9 people in on it.

I watched a guy on the highway doing 90 drive off into the ditch, asleep at the wheel. I pulled over, as did 3 other people, and instinctively we went down into the ditch, pried open his door and pulled him out. He was ok, just shaken up, and I went on with my day.

The only part that is impressive is the possible risk of further fire or explosion, and that everyone disregarded this and went in to help. But as far as people jumping in to help, that's what people do.

:lol @ the top Youtube comment:

The caption should be "Young woman directs a bunch of guys on how to lift

a car off a bloke trapped underneath, while a police officer directs

traffic nearby."

Young woman: 10/10 for figuring it all out.

Guys: 9/10 for brute strength.

Police officer: 4/10 for appearing to look busy.

The girl was only 18. Good thing she's a quick thinker.

I'm sorry but if you think cars explode after being on fire for a long time, then you've been playing too much GTA. A car will explode right away, or just catch fire and stay lit for a long time.

BTW, this is so lame:

Another grad student in statistics, Abbass Sharif, of Lebanon, said his thoughts naturally drifted toward the injured man’s odds of surviving.

"What are the chances of him living or dying," Sharif said he thought. He believed death would be 100 percent certain if no one helped, but he’d have a chance of survival — albeit however small — if others helped.
