His bike burst into flames, catching the car on fire. Bystanders quickly ran to help and began lifting the car to free him and one man then pulled him to safety. "A lot of times things happen these days that shake our faith in humanity," Riggs said. "Not one person, not two people, (but) nearly a dozen people rushed together to a burning scene and lifted a thousand-pound car. That is absolutely incredible." 4 Link to comment
volgadon Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Wow, I was really surprised to see someone I know. Anvar, the guy in the orange shirt, is from Uzbekistan. Link to comment
Libs Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 That's a wonderful story! It is good to know that there are so many people who really do care.. Link to comment
Calm Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Someone made a comment in the paper about the strange behavior of the man in the suit (he stood around not helping). From what I've read elsewhere I believe he is the driver of the car who was described as being in shock...he looks in shock to me.Thankfully there were those already there who were able to step in and help, watching as their numbers grew with each failed attempt rather than giving up is inspiring.

emeliza Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I haven't watched the videos yet, but I read about this. Glad people are still willing to help others. And hopefully no one gives the guy in the suit a bad time, especially if he was in the BMW. Link to comment
