From Hugh MacLeod's Gaping VoidShit saves. At least, in Statesboro, Georgia it does. Fa real. Word!
From the full article available here:
It was a violent, fiery crash, and minutes after it happened, people immediately stopped to see how they could help the men trapped inside. James Burdett, John Hagan Plumbing & electrical: "It was horrible. It was horrible."
It was too late for the driver. Jerry Littleton was killed when his pickup caught fire after overturning and hitting a tree. The passenger, his cousin, 18-year-old Mitchell Hendrix, was still alive, but fire was racing through the vehicle.
James Burdette, and two other workers, were heading in for the day after making a service call. The septic company workers saw the wreck and turned around to help.
Burdett: "We heard the man in there screaming, so we waited for the police to get there, and police showed up. We asked permission to put the fire out, with the pump truck, and they said 'Go ahead, and do that' so we backed the pump truck over there, and put the fire out."
As unconventional as it was, the men doused the fire with 1500 gallons of raw sewage for about ten minutes. It's illegal to release sewage on the ground, but the men say there was no other way to save him.
Let's just hope those shitty heroes don't get sued. That would be, well, a really shitty thing to do to two gents who thought on their feet and saved a life. I'm just sayin'. Bless their dear hearts.

Geez, what a crappy deal...

At least it wasn't a hover-craft or something with, you know, an oversized fan on it. ;)
Cheek, you really need to see Trailer Park Boys to truly appreciate the Shitmobile.
I like people who think on their feet. Good save.
Can't wait to hear the Cheek reaction to this one: NASA spells shuttle name wrong on the launch pad
Seein' as I'm the one who drew that snafu to your attention, Sheena, I believe comment unnecessary. Tho' at least they spelled it one of 2 possible ways, and not some outright, wrong way. I'm just sayin'. Bless their dear hearts.
No dear... I hadn't read my email when it saw the story on Drudge.
Great minds... fools... yadda yadda yadda...
Geez, twelve days of slacking off... You forget where your keyboard is, or what? ;-)
