To continue on the subject of heroism, I found an article and video from CNN on a car crash from way back in September that also occurred in the Logan area. The crash was from a car pulling out in front of a motorcyclist. The man on the motorcycle tried to get out of the way but it resulted in a crash. The motorcycle spilled gasoline, which soon ignited. The motorcyclist was trapped under the BMW and the ignited motorcycle. However, all was not lost. Some good samaritans came to the rescue. These everyday people gathered all together to lift the BMW off of the poor man trapped beneath. For more information on the crash read CNN's article. A video captured the heroic acts of the bystanders:
The video depicts the courageousness of the many bystanders who came to the rescue of the motorcyclist. The policeman was originally going to get a jack to lift the BMW up, but then he realized that the citizens planned on using manual labor to lift and move the car. Keep in mind that the car was on fire. These are more examples of heroes. They don't have super suits or powers, yet they completed a super act-lifting a car off of an injured victim. Perhaps that's what makes them a hero, the fact that though they have no more capability than you and me they saved an innocent man from a horrible fate. So what is it that makes them heroes?
