What courage to act in such a selfless way to save others. I have often wondered just how I would react in similar circumstances. I guess ones sense of whats right or wrong just automatically kicks in.
Anyway Leo, I think you should run this story by OOIDA. I tried to put something up on their forum but my registration is messed up or something.

They did a really awesome job Leo! What an inspiring story to read.
True heroes indeed! I hope they got a decent Christmas bonus, boss.

Congrats to your team it takes a lot of brass to climbing into a burning truck. So many people out there do not realize just how often truckers come to the aid of accident victims then just drive off without anyone knowing who they are. Case in point two years ago my oldest son crashed my goldwing out in Oklahoma he blew a back tire at 70 mph. it was a trucker that stopped to help him control his bleeding until an ambulance arrived. They loaded my son up and the driver got back in his truck and drove off. My son not thinking straight at the time didn’t think to ask the driver for his name or even get the name of the trucking company. The best I could do was to go on one of the trucking radio shows and offer a heartfelt thanks to the unknown trucker that came to my son’s aid. My son was very lucky all he had was bad road rash he lost some skin but he didn’t break anything. And for those that think helmets are a pain keep this in mind he had a nice gouge in his helmet without it he may not have lived.
