There's a lot of depressing shit about atm, so use this thread as a break from the gloom, and post the more uplifting stuff. Maybe we can save the planet this way.

Is it strange that I found the video with the dog more touching?

Maybe because the dog was in distress, I dunno.

A Utah motorcyclist who was pinned under a burning car, expressed his gratitude on Tuesday for the help of strangers who lifted up the the 4,000 pound (1.8 tonne) vehicle to rescue him, in an act of bravery captured on amateur video. Authorities said 21-year-old Brandon Wright was riding his motorcycle on Monday near the Utah State University campus in Logan when he collided with a black BMW that was pulling out of a parking lot. Tyre and skid marks on the highway indicate that Wright laid the bike down and slid along the road before colliding with the car. The bike hit the car's hood and bounced to the ground, while Wright, who was not a wearing helmet, slid under the car and then both vehicles burst into flames, police said. Wright was pinned to the ground as the flames began to engulf the car. The video shows a crowd of about 10 men and women gathering around the burning car and motorcycle as flames shoot into the air. Quickly the group places their hands on the car and starts to rock it until it tilts up on its side.Once the car is on two wheels, a construction worker can be seen dragging a spread-eagled Wright from under the car

The odd thing is they all walk away as soon as he's out from under the car. I thought that was weird.

Booo hissss, more depravity and suffering please, I need to be entertained!

pablomakaveli · 16-09-2011 3:22pm

Video is wrong. They actually put him under there in the first place.

Maybe they saw the ambulance coming and went to guide it to the spot/get out of its way.

To be honest when I saw that first I was convinced the dude was well deaded, the way he was balmed out like that...

It doesn't restore my faith in humanity (though it wasn't terribly shaken in the first place). I'd expect anyone who could intervene to help save the life of another human being to do so.

Looks like the cop tells them to move back.

Was going to mention the guy in the suit too. fat piece of sh*t. Like those people came together to help that dude. Even a slim woman can be seen trying to move the car. Decent people!

So while its a testoment that in times of need people may help you. there'll always be those who stand back watching. Even the guy with the camera. where was he? just shooting the video safe from his window. god forbid he could run down and help. I know we shouldnt concentrate on that fat suit guy. As more people helped. But at one part everyone in shot is trying to move the car while he is the only one standing around :mad:
