That was an incredible sight! Those people coming together to lift that E60 up was very impressive not just for the sheer strength but the fact that people actually risked their lives and did it in the first place. It's reassuring to see such humanity.

Yes, remarkable Samaritan effort...some stuff could have really gone wrong, but didn't.
BB/R, the Nat news suggested the driver helped...dunno, but I'm guessing he was the guy in the suit in initial footage, but couldn't tell if he did do some lifting. Every time I see a m'cycle down it gives me pause, and makes me reconsider. GL, mD

Besides, if the guy underneath the car was on fire, don't you think the additional seconds or minutes of burns could cause much more significant injuries? I prefer not to burn personally!  I thought the reaction was commendable and heroic personally.

the actions of the public was indeed commendable but how long did it take them .
the car driver should have the sense to react quickly to such a situation . I personally can change a wheel in one minute , from stopping the car to having everything packed away again neatly takes one minute and I am not Superman . if you stay cool you can achieve things quickly .
