He didn’t panic because he was relaxed about the whole situation.
Love how the monotone lib at the end goes “well, that’s one more SUV off the road” and this his wife/girlfriend goes “umm one more drunk off the road.”
The “one more SUV off the road” comment was kind of snarky by the cameraman. Wonder if they actually called 911 or just enjoyed the show?
Was the guy that pulled him away from the car a cop, or just a bystander? Either way, he saved that guy from some major burns.
>>> with his car engulfed in flames he actually tries to drive away in it.
My puny bandwidth is committed so I am commenting blind, but has anyone considered the possibility he was trying to move his vehicle away from the apartments over concern of the damage it might do from either the fire spreading, or by explosion?
I recall something similar from the video by a reporter made of an ambush in Baghdad. An Army sgt under fire jumping into a burning ammunition truck and moving it away from his troops. To my mind a Medal of Honor moment, but his CO apparently didn’t see it that way.

Make a great ad for Everclear.
It didn’t look like he was trying to ‘drive’ it, he was pushing it away from whatever it was up against.
