Because We Need Reminders that Most Folk are Willing to Help

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUxPWx4YW20&feature=player_embedded]

 

In daily life, most people jump in to help if they know what to do. Media tells us about the terrible things people are capable of but rarely about the good.  Today, I just wanted to remind myself and anyone else who needs it, how many of us are heroes waiting to happen.

I watched that several times this morning…they picked up a CAR! Although they make it look effortless, that is no easy task, I don’t care HOW many construction workers you have. And while the car still burned? Good karma will come to them all.

I noted that it was a young woman who dropped to the ground to look under the car and then seemed to lead the charge to lift the car.

If you check out the link I added, it shows a young man first and he looks under from further away and then runs off for help. The young woman comes closer for a look flat on her stomach and gets into action right away. The video also will show someone beginning to work on the injured man, and you can see the injured man actually move his arm. All in all it was people doing good.

…of course they DID just drop him and run once he was out from under the car… 17 years as a first responder and I always sort of wanted to run once the victim was safe… mark
