the 21st, flames soared from a vehicle that collided with a median strip on a road in Busan.
A taxi driver who witnessed the scene runs to the accident car and tries to get the driver out, but it is not easy on his own.
In an instant, citizens gather around one by one and work together to rescue the unconscious driver.
As the flames grow louder, this time the citizens head to the passenger seat.
He gets his tools and smashes the windows, rushing in desperately to finally rescue his passengers.
It was a miracle that was created within 4 minutes of starting the rescue without backing down from the danger of a vehicle explosion.
[Son Byeong-oh/Busan Bosu-dong: I wore a helmet, but I thought I could feel the hot flames from the inside of the helmet to the inside of my body, but the fear is short-lived, and I have to save people first… I feel like that... .]
Immediately after the rescue, firefighters arrived and put out the fire, and although the driver and passenger were injured, their lives are not in danger.
He returned to the scene of the accident.
There are still traces of the emergency situation at the time. As you can see from the back, this is a place where there is usually a lot of traffic and traffic congestion.
It is not easy to access by fire trucks, etc., but without prompt action by the citizens, it would have caused great damage.
The police plan to further verify the identities of the citizens who carried out the rescue operation and deliver a letter of appreciation.
