MrLabGuy is on a distinguished road
This blows my mind ->



http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...PzkqTKDA&hl=en

Surveillance video of a car striking 78-year-old Angel Arce Torres and leaving him paralyzed in the busy street.

The video showed cars zooming past as bystanders stared at Torres from the sidewalk, nobody stepped forward to help. Not one person on the busy sidewalk came to the aid of the poor man who laid bleeding on the street.
Unbelievable. Makes me very angry at our society who would stand there and not render aid not even direct traffic around the poor guy laying in the street so he would not be struck again.

A little more than a year ago I was following a man driving in front me on a very curvy rural highway. He fell asleep and slammed into the side of the mountain at about 75+ MPH because he was also going downhill. The accident happened right in front of me and I suspected he was going to crash moments before because he was driving erratically.

The car smashed the front end and rolled resting upside down. As I approached the car he was hanging unconscious from the seatbelt and the engine compartment was on fire. I squeezed in the broken passenger window all the time hearing gasoline gluging as it pored out of the rear of the car.

No way I could let that man burn and die if I could help him. I could never live with myself. I'll say I was in a zone but definitely afraid for my life.
Strange enough this was the second time in my life I was in the right place at the right time. The first is a long story and I should be dead as a result but a young girl is alive and well.

Cool thing is the guy still sends me Christmas, birthday and thank you cards. He even invited me and my wife to his birthday party.

These pedestrians in this video SUCK!
