Do these things not have any parking/emergency brake? Or gears?
Or was there some other reason stupidhead thought his best action was remaining inside the vehicle that was on fire?

And watching the second vid of it, which shows more of the afterwards--was everyone running this thing also stupidheads? Nobody had any sort of fire preparedness in place? Took the firetruck way too long to get their butts there. And then really? They also poured on a bunch of water? On a car fire?
>'Kat, shaking my head at the whole thing....

As far as the stupidhead driver letting it roll, at that point I'm betting his only thought was "CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (replace with stronger cussing as appropriate). I mean, he was suddenly sitting in fire. When the other guy helped him out, you can see fire in his footwell.
So at that point, he wasn't thinking about anything except not burning alive.
It's the beforehand that makes him a stupidhead. That's when he should've done whatever to keep it there--brake, in gear, whatever. And then gotten out before it exploded to full engulfing fire.
And I'm sorry to be hard, but the folks at the bottom behind the thing could've used one brain cell to think, "Hm. I'm not in a good place if that thing goes south...." And the folks running it should've immediately been clearing out everyone back there--"This might go south, need you to move 'til it's dealt with."
I dunno. Maybe I just grew up watching too many horror and disaster movies, and automatically look for the potential danger to myself when something like that happens.

jersey, you're right that lots of people could've easily been killed. And I'm kind of surprised they weren't. They were ALL really really lucky that ditch (or whatever) stopped it.

I think I would have moved when I saw it start rolling backwards. Then again maybe they are used to seeing that ditch stop trucks. |
