Sweet story. Shocking what could happen any second.
I dunno. If it is, I'm sure glad it stayed inside the tanker. Imagine 10,000 gallons of gasoline roasted, lukewarm, curdled cheese juice flowing all over the highway. Yuck.Isn't whey the liquid stuff from cottage cheese?
personally i've never been in a situation like that, so i don't know how i would react, but i have huge respect for those who don't think but just do. so BryceM... congrats on just reacting and seeing what you could do to help.wow, what an experience. Glad everyone is safe. The sad thing is, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear about that situation is "what would be my liability if she had a broken neck and I had to move him/her?" Ever since watching a CHiPs episode in the 70's as a kid when Panch was accused of moving someone in that situation, I've thought about it in that point of view. I blame it on the lawyer-crazy world we live in right now![]()
Well, I have many of the same feelings, especially when deep down I know that there is a good chance that the person in the truck is there because of their own stupidity. It's always a person on drugs, talking on a cell phone, driving too fast, drunk, suspended license, etc., etc. By all logic, why would anyone do something so potentially dangerous as running toward a fire? I have five kids, a busy medical practice, and a million reasons to be somewhere else.I have to say I don't know if I would have gone into a burning car. When I was younger without a doubt, I would have done it (when it was just me), but once you have kids something changes and your prime responsibility is to them. And since my well-being is forever tied to their well-being I don't thing I could risk the devasting effect this would have on people so close to me.
my thoughts exactly. If you have time to think about it, you can weigh the pros and cons, but most of the time in those situations you dont' get that luxury.Well, I have many of the same feelings, especially when deep down I know that there is a good chance that the person in the truck is there because of their own stupidity.

It's just that once you're actually in the situation stuff just happens. You run on in there and then later say, "Wow, that turned out well........., but it didn't have to. What on earth was I thinking?????"
Weird stuff. It's hard to predict how you'll react.
