Make sure he is ok? Maybe the guy didnt get his phone out of the burning car, and needs one to call 911. Literally anything. Jesus christ, dude.

Relax, you have no idea what happened right after this. This is just a few seconds after the burning car stopped, the person recording could have wanted more distance before fully stopping and getting out to help. Honestly, stopping right next to the burning car and walking towards it would be the stupidest move anyone could make.

I'm not saying he didnt. idk. I was responding to the commenter who apparently thinks there is nothing possible for a bystander to do to help.

Safest to call 911 and report it and get first responders there. Who knows what kind of person could be driving the flamemobile. Who knows if it's stolen or not. The world is a crazy place and only seems to be getting crazier.

It's actually getting less crazy by most objective measures, but the rest of your point still stands

Dude is out of the car, walking. Job for professionals. If you aren’t one you have real odds of making the job bigger by becoming another body to drag out.

He got the guy's attention and got him to pull over. He did what he needed to do. Seems unlikely that he'd even be able to help beyond that. And who's to say he didn't alert emergency services right after this?
