Amazing video.
Didn't catch the 'suit' the first time I watched it. Wouldn't be surprised to find he was the car driver.

That incident made the national news and my local news today.

I did think it was kind of unusual that the guy was pulled about 10 feet from the car and the cop apparently indicated for everyone to move away from the car..... out of camera view and left the guy still only 10 feet away from the fire.

I think everybody there was on autopilot at that point , And i really fault no one for there actions , Some poeple freeze . Brain waves sparking !

The real hero is the chick that gets on her belly , And see's he's under there.

I just watched a 14 minute version...... The grey haired guy with the green shirt was the first to see him trapped under the car.... (not the guy that drug him out, but the guy with sunglasses, next to the girl when they lifted it) He actually tried to lift the car himself before the crowd showed up.... Not to take away from what any of the others did.

It wasn't my intent to fault anyone for their actions and a BRAVO to them. I've been personally involved, witnessed many situations like, and very much like, this. I just thought it was weird that after all that effort SOMEBODY, in that very large crowd (including the professionals or maybe even ex military types) didn't say....."Hey, a the guy." Course maybe they did, in the longer clip, which I didn't see.
