    People are unbelievable anymore. All they care about is getting video or pics. Glad someone didn't have their head in their rear.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Two types of people in the world. Those that punch out glass windows to save a life and those that film it...

    That dude thought of this woman's safety before his own. Hero in my book. Glad to see there is still good in the world. :thumbsup:

    Kid deserves an award paid for by losers standing by filming it.



    A few years ago we did a family vacation and were in Budapest. We witnessed a woman get run over by a trailer being towed by a car she had just got out of...she had just gotten out of the passenger side of the vehicle which had stopped to let her out in what we call the left/fast/passing lane. It was during a very busy time of the day. Like all of us do, she had a dumb ass attack & so did the driver. To avoid traffic on either side of her, she walked back and stood BETWEEN the car she had just got out of and the trailer it was towing. The driver of that car accelerated away (and never looked back). She was flattened & rolled under the trailer, left laying in the road stunned or temporarly knocked out.

    I was dumb founded, I mean jaw dropped open kind of stuff after seeing this and what was a hot chick motionless on her back in the fast lane on a busy road.

    My mother was the first & only person to walk out and block traffic. Once I gathered my senses, I went out and helped my mom get her out of the road. I was very concerned that my mom, me or the chick would be hit. Amazingly, not a single car stopped to check or block traffic so we moved her to the sidewalk.

    None of us spoke whatever russian type dialect (I think) she spoke after she awoke or of those who eventually came to help (& the couldn't or didn't speak any language of any of my family) so other than what we could see, we had no clue what was going on with her.

    Reminds me of the last episode of Seinfeld when they got arrested for standing by watching as a mugging/carjacking took place.
