Everyone survived the fireball

Biloxi, Mississippi I-10 Car Crashes Into Semi, Explosion The time shown on the video is wrong, this happened monday, august 11th 2014

A car t-bones a semi truck on I10 near Biloxi, Mississippi. The car struck the fuel tank of the semi causing a large fire ball. The doors of the car were jammed shut and the driver suffering a broken leg could not exit the vehicle.
Luckily my father had a fire extinguisher on hand to fight back the flames and give enough time to pull the driver and her 1 year old granddaughter out of the flaming vehicle. Once the passengers are free from the vehicle the flames rapidly grow in strength consuming the vehicle.
Thankfully my father had the presence of mind, bravery, and forethought of carrying a fire extinguisher, to be the first person on scene to risk his own life in order to possibly save another and to inspire others and lead them into taking action. Everyone involved in the rescue effort is a hero in my books.

Every semi truck has a fire extinguisher in the truck cab. Every car driver ought to carry one as well, but they would rather watch DVDs and text than consider anything about driving.

There you go. I counted 8 men plus a firetruck coming to the aid of the woman and the baby, before a policewoman showed up. What, don't Mizzou women drive on the Interstate? A stricken woman and her granddaughter, surrounded and protected by men. Even the policewoman knew the unfortunates were in good hands, and proceeded to other duties. At least in Mississippi, traditional virtues remain.

And this, ladies, is precisely why God gave us men. Good, brave men step up when required.

And they there is Obama.
