| If he'd got here before me, Hetzer would have wrote: | Look how it's regular folks that get together to save him, then two pigs steam in, take charge and just leave him lying there while they stand around grunting and waving their trotters and jizzing their little piggy extinguishers at the car |
It's like he's in my head!
to all involved, brought a proper lump to my throat.

ok i found this news report this is it
In a dramatic rescue Monday near Utah State University, a crowd of good Samaritans lifted a burning car off a motorcyclist trapped underneath -- and all of it was captured on video.
Chris Garff said he was doing what any good videographer would do when he grabbed his camera and went to investigate the black smoke billowing outside the Logan, Utah, business building where he was preparing to videotape a lecture for a business professor.
But as he trained the camera's eye on the action, he realized he was capturing something extraordinary. "I knew there was some pretty remarkable footage," he said in an interview with The Times. "Then it really starts to set in, that this is going to be a big deal."
Moments earlier, a motorcycle and a BMW had collided, leaving the motorcyclist trapped underneath the car; the bike quickly went up in flames that spread to the front of the BMW.
By the time Garff started shooting from his perch on the ninth floor, a few bystanders had rushed over and frantically tried to lift the vehicle -- but it wouldn't budge. Then came a second wave of help, including some nearby construction workers still wearing their hard hats.
The crowd hoisted up the side of the car so that it was resting on just two wheels. That created just enough space for one of the construction workers to dart underneath and pull the man's seemingly lifeless body to safety. (If you look closely, you can see the flames starting to creep up the man's left foot.)
Emergency workers began treating the man; Garff said he continued to roll and tried to figure out what to do next. And then he realized the man was moving -- and still alive.
"I was just freaking out, you can hear my voice on the video, I thought that guy was a goner," Garff, 31, said. "I couldn't believe it when I saw him move."
The man, later identified as 21-year-old Brandon Wright, was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and treated for broken bones and other injuries. He faces a long recovery, and his family released a statement thanking the strangers who saved him.
"Brandon and our entire family would like to express our deep gratitude to all of the people who stopped at the crash scene on Monday to help rescue Brandon," the statement said. “The fact that so many people would risk their own lives to save Brandon is a testament to the spirit of the community, and we will forever be thankful for these angels saving our son."
As for Garff, he said he had to get back to work after the rescue -- the media production specialist still had a lecture to shoot. But when class was over, he prepped the video and contacted local media to see if they might be interested.
Were they ever.
In less than 24 hours, the video has had more than 42,000 views on YouTube, and Garff's phone is ringing off the hook with interview requests from the likes of CNN and other media outlets.
Garff said he's pleased with the attention, but he's more pleased to know he lives in a world where strangers will put their lives in danger to help others.
"The guy survived, thankfully he did. Those people didn't stop to think... they acted. Strangers stopped and lifted a car and saved a man's life. It tells you that there's hope."

Kudos and Karma to the people that helped. Glad to hear the guy survived.
That little woman trying to lift the car, nearest the camera and so nearest the flames, she has big balls
Restores the faith in Human nature a bit to!

I was sent this link by a mate at work and was going to post a thread on it - lucky i spotted this thread or the pearoast police would've been after me!
What i find strange is how everyone just fucks off and leaves him (the biker) lying there after they've dragged him out.

To expand on my thought above, that's because the cops had rolled up and 'secured the scene' i.e. shouted that they were in charge, and everybody else had better damn well stop acting like responsible adults who can make their decisions.
Ahem. 
It's actually a smart thing to do - the first rule is not to become a casualty yourself - but as we can see it can lead to a touch of "be safe, do nothing" paralysis as everyone tries to take charge and assess the situation.
Actually thumbs up all round, it's not fair to second guess from a safe remove.
