Now those are real “heros”, except of course the fat guy in the suit, I guess he was “supervising” the operation.

The term ‘Hero’ has been misused a lot, these folks are Heroes. 

Not to be political but the picture and caption makes me wonder if these are the type of folks who’d stand around and wait for the government to step in and help, or if they’d get their own hands dirty.  The answer seems obvious.  I’m sure politics was the last thing on these people’s minds and all who got their hands dirty (and risked cuts/burns) are heroes.  Compare this scene though to ones where people just stand around and wait for the authorities.  In this case when circumstances tested them they showed they were the best that they could be.  Cheers to them.

That’s amazing.  The fat guy at one point is even leaning on the back of the car.

Very simple. He’s waiting for the personnel that are certified in car-lifting. He’s waiting for someone to tell him what to do. He is showing he cares by calling 911. He is afraid he will be sued. He is afraid he will lose his disability if someone sees him helping. He is sure that somebody will do something. He is not from Utah. He is one of the few Democrats in Utah. But that is all speculation.

Wow. I saw that in a totally different way. To me he looked like a typical Republican, probably chastising the motorcycle rider (under his breath of course) for not wearing a helmet and wondering how much of his hard-earned tax dollars would be used to nurse him back to health. He’d assume of course that the motorcycle rider wouldn’t have insurance – he was riding a motorcycle after all – therefore WE (that hard working, tax dodging GOPers) will be stuck with the bill. He was probably a bit flummoxed that anyone was trying to help. In a Libertarian Utopia no one would have helped, the trapped man would have met his demise and the Government wouldn’t be expected to take care of him.

 Maybe he was thinking all that, but a typical Utahn would have been thinking that as they were straining to help lift the car.

They all are heroes, except the fat man in the suite. What a sad individual.

Jesus, people gathered to do the right thing and assholes like you still find a
way to make it political. I’d be willing to bet you’d be like that fat dumbass
in the video, only you would probably be eating a sandwich as well.

People coming together to help an injured man, not folding their arms and saying ‘well if he can’t lift the car then he’s screwed’.
Are you sure you were not that fat dude in the video, now on here trying to deflect?

 Other sites are reporting that he was the driver. Maybe he was in shock or hurt.  He’s going to have a hard time living this down otherwise. I know I would have been rattled.

I think the guy in the suit was the idiot driver of the BMW who ran over the motorcyclist.  Do you see him lean on the car while the guy is still under it.  Jerk.  He doesn’t seem too concerned he almost killed someone.

Jesus, people gathered to do the right thing and a**holes like you still find a way to make it political. I’d be willing to bet you’d be like that fat dumbass in the video, only you would probably be eating a sandwich as well.

Whoops…I didn’t read the part about the motorcyclist swerved so probably not the BMW’s driver’s fault but he’s still a jerk for leaning on the car and not helping…he might get his suit dirty.

Who is doing the narration? It looks like security camera feed, but the fact that there’s an ambient mic makes me think the video came from a handheld or a cell phone.

Looks like a jobs creator… Shouldn’t be expected to lift his share of the load, especially after causing a crash.

Didn’t you wonder why the fat guy wasn’t helping? Isn’t it an interesting microcosm of society? Can’t this be applied to our society in general? Wouldn’t we be better off if everyone pitched in without waiting for authority figures? I just think it is a great object lesson for people who think that problems have to be solved by someone “in authority”.
PS Not fat, sometimes an ass,maybe dumb, but never afraid to jump in to help. I do want a sandwich now that you mention it.

As soon as it is revealed who that fat @$$ is, his life is going to seriously change….and not in a good way…what a jerk!! He totally fits the stereotype of a BMW owner.

i love how you embrace your pussiness. if i didnt have a dick you would be my hero…

videographer was in a utah state university building to film a lecture. i’m guessing the people talking were students.

Wanna get a cup of coffee and talk it over Jbubble?

that video captures you perfectly, do you get residuals?

Your not a clever troll but persistent even for your kind.    

and you’re a delusional twat…

Yeah… you’ve called me that at every opportunity… in true troll fashion.  I don’t mind… I have a  ethnographic interest in the digital troll that your frequent intrusions inform.

thanks for proving just how delusional you are. claiming you are doing a scientific study while polluting the gene pool. you kill me… bahahahaha

Lets get that cup of coffee Jbubble… Just let me know when your ready.

I ride a motorcycle and these bystanders are heros for stepping up and saving this mans life but the story shouldnt be about them.  This accident is a direct result of a CAR pulling out in front of a motorcycle.
Drivers need to pay attention!!! 

that fat guy in the expensive suit is the only person initially on the scene that does not attempt to help.  He stands, takes a step or two, puts on glasses and essentially watches the other people work together to save the victim.

What a strangely detached reaction to the emergency.  I might add he is the Only one dressed in an expensive suite on the scene – everyone else is in labor unis or street cloths and they all at least attempt to help.  Its almost impossible not to draw a comparison to our current economic situation in the USA.  Maybe he was overcome with worrying about his $60,000 car.

PS this is a clear example of the fact that psychopaths succeed in business – he is a rich professional and he has zero recognition of another persons immediate and grave suffering. It simply doesnt register in his brain…

Oh, you are so proud of your putrid little pencil aren’t you?  Aren’t you just so cute~  

What a display of what can be described as the antithesis of what the GOP did in the past 3 years where the president constantly begged for them to grab a hose and help put out the fire instead of sitting on the sidelines manufacturing obstacle after another in the way of this country’s path to recovery. They’re workers so they must all be liberals except the man in the suit

It reminds me of right after sept 11 2001, when there was no politics and we were one country working together. Everyone was American …no one hated anyone other then the ones who hurt us.
This group of people were working together like we should be now instead of calling each other names and playing politics…

Actually its the left who are obsessed with health care.  Republicans think doctors should be in charge of healthcare, not some butt-kissing-holier-than-thou bureaucrat.

did you run out of summers eve?

Cant you just take it as what real people do for each other! no politics no name calling no blaming others but helping. 
Your why this country keeps going down the wrong road instead of working together you rather call people names and spit out hate! Your the example of the liberal left right now in this country.

Though I’ve never run over anyone….yet, I can imagine the guy, who’s just hit someone, is likely not thinking too clearly.  And given his girth, he probably has a variety of health issues himself.  Besides, he was likely busy texting something important when the motorcycle swerved into him. (Note: any cyclist who dosn’t wear a helmet should be thankful whenever they survive any accident.)  And as a prerequisit to choosing to bike without a helmet should have to spend a week in the Critical Care Unit of any trauma hospital to see the usual outcomes. 

now i know you are getting residuals…

Many people react differently after striking and perhaps killing someone but the usual reaction is shock.

 As I posted later, it wasn’t immediately apparent that he was the driver. He should get some slack for that, I agree.

Have you ever been in shock?  This guys reactions are all textbook and understandable, given he likely dosn’t even know how the motorcycle got under his car.

 The firehose is the marketplace. The President is the guy at the hydrant demanding a fee to turn it on.

No, he looked like a union steward making sure that everyone who touched the car could do so under shop rules.

You are a true POS for injecting your lib politics into a tragedy, but you are a pathetic lib, so it is not that surprising.

says a true round mouth!

Sadly he has no healthcare.  So they pushed him back under the car.

Pretending to be offended while launching petty personal attack… Must be Notsofast.  

The President has handed out trillions to start the flow at the hydrant, each time the water begins to lessen the flames, republicans and their tea-party acolytes rip the wrench from his hands and beat him with it.

Market=firehose   Federal handouts=buckets

Not quite a shovel ready project.
Any lawsuits yet against the hero’s or the fat guy for not helping/being fat?
Can we sue Colby for pain and suffering? Whenever I see him on TV I fear the top button on his shirt is going to explode and hurt someone.

incredible & brave of these individuals — hopefully none of them will be sued (in this typically overly-litigious society)!

our Prez’ death panel would have said ‘nahh, he’s expendable’ while the government required EVERYONE buy a motorcycle helmet.

These people clearly learned the lessons of 9/11 greater than anyone making a speech on Sunday.  Risking your own life to save the life of another is the ultimate lesson we could learn from 9/11.

Kind of sad that the majority of the comments here are so political.  This is basically an example of people putting their lives on the line (when they didn’t have to) in order to save another human being.  There’s nothing to politicize here.  Just give those people their due props.  They’re all heroes as far as I’m concerned.  

Actually, Republicans think insurance companies should be in charge of healthcare.

Incredibly risky on their part to save this guy. Kudos to them. I hope there is a follow-up about his condition.

You are still a POS, Greggy boy!

Except for Paul Krugman that is

Ya… that’s why obama decided to force every single American to purchase health insurance

OR… the heavy dude could have been on a 911 call… also, as someone mentioned earlier, likely in a real daze.  I would probably completely lose it if I hit a biker, his fault or mine.

Good Work guys!

Amazing selfless act…though I’m laughing at the kid in the green t shirt who comes running up after a majority of the effort to lift the car has been done and he puts one hand on the car as if he helped out.  There’s always one person in the bunch.

Oh, and thank you, mediaite regs, for not failing me. I can always count on you politicize a random story.  Well done.

Why would the heavy dude be on a 911 call the police are already on scene and im sure that means rescue is already on its way…

What is really sad is what you can’t see.  Listen at the end of the video.  The supervisor is telling the people filming to get back to work.  I don’t thing the supervisor was in shock.

How do you know he’s in a suite?  Maybe it’s just a regular hotel room!

Oh my gosh! That explains that!

The republicans are demanding the fee

The fee is the higher taxes. Fees generally come from the one who has the money. The government does not generate money, it collects it. A “fee” paid by government is simply a return or reduction in taxes on the money that belonged to the taxpayer. It is our money in the first place!
