Have you seen this video yet?
Local bystanders in Logan, Utah lifted a burning car off of motorcyclist Brandon Wright on Monday to save his life.

On Tuesday Wright said says he was grateful for the help of strangers who lifted the vehicle to rescue him.

From the video:

Bystanders rush to drag a young biker out from under a burning car in Logan, Utah, Monday, Sept. 13, 2011.

A motorcyclist who was pinned under a burning car after a collision says he’s grateful for the help of strangers who lifted the vehicle to rescue him.
Brandon Wright on Tuesday told The Associated Press his life was saved by the actions of bystanders.

Authorities say the accident Monday near the Utah State University campus in Logan happened when the 21-year-old Wright collided with a car pulling out from a parking lot.
The bike and car burst into flames and Wright was trapped underneath. A camera nearby captured a group of people tilting the car up to pull Wright to safety. Logan police are heralding the group as heroes.

Wright was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The driver of the BMW had minor injuries.

What an amazing story.

   Of course, this story is remarkable.

   What is also remarkable is that someone was there to video record it. It is amazing how often random spontaneous events like this get video recorded nowadays.

   Reassuring to see so many people so eager to help rescue this man. Most people in this country are decent and kind. The MSM would have you believe otherwise–just feeds the feeling of hoplessness and isolation that is required to become a drone for the cult. Thanks for showing this clip.

    Have you wondered why no one put the car in neutral and pushed it away?

    My son saved a man from a falling piece of equipment with his bare hands, and he said afterwards that he wasn’t able to move that piece of equipment before or after the event. It is amazing the strength we have when we need it. Thank the Lord and all those men and women who took action when they could.

    Thank G-d for “lighthouses,” and may He richly bless them for their selfless act.

    Did you not watch the clip? The cyclist was under the car. (Looked more like a SUV to me, but that’s neither here nor there.) In fact, on the audio portion of the clip, the reporter said that the cyclist had been dragged under the vehicle after it had hit him while he was on his bike. So, pushing the car would have only caused the cyclist to be dragged under it even more/further than he already had been.

    Besides, even if he’d not been somehow caught under the vehicle, causing him to be dragged by it, attempts to push the vehicle off of him could have resulted in rolling a tire or two over him (a hand, foot, limb(s) or his head).

    @ #12 bg: When rounded up and given proper yet easy-to-follow instructions, men can be very handy.

    Disclaimer:Before any of you guys get all offended and defensive, I want you to know that I’m just kidding around. You don’t need to be rounded up into groups; you can often be handy individually, too.
