A couple years ago another instance of heroism occurred in Florida. Jasmine Gonzalez's car flew off of the Florida Interstate and into the canal that bordered it. She thought for sure that she would drown. However, lucky for the seventeen year old girl, a couple who was driving by saved the day. Using the only tool they could find, a trailer hitch, they, and a few others, turned the car on its side and broke the window, pulling Jasmine to safety. An interview and explanation of the events can be seen in the interview with the couple:
The two samaritans didn't even believe they were heroes. "It's just something you naturally do," they said. However, I believe that many would have to differ. Some would have driven by and figured the car was empty. What did those who stopped and saved Gonzalez have that others don't? What makes them a hero. This is another example of random strangers working together to save a victim, is that what makes them great?
