Citizens Lift Car, Pull Injured Man From Flaming Wreckage w/video
A group of construction workers, students, and general bystanders stepped in to save the life of an injured motorcyclist caught beneath a fiery car wreck on Monday in Logan, Utah. The video above, courtesy of NBC's Today Show, shows the group band together to lift the burning car and pull the man to safety.

According to reports, the man was identified as 21-year-old Brandon Wright and is in stable condition after undergoing surgery on Monday evening. The driver of the car was not seriously injured in the accident.

2. I saw this on TV right after they aired footage
of some idiot using a taser on people in the stands during the Jets game the other day.

What a contrast....

The worst of humanity...the very best of humanity.


There are times when I detest my own species. Those people restored my faith in the human race for a while.

3. A small example of what a group of people can accomplish when they all come together
to deal with a problem. Kudos for all involved. Very inspirational. Thanks for posting.
