‘Humans Are Metal’: This Online Community Celebrates Extraordinary Individuals (New) 

To my beautiful friend Nancy McRitchie, who volunteered to take the most critical Covid patients in the intensive care units until she died of it herself. She was in her rally 50’s. RIP my friend. May God reward you richly for your love.

Of the many brave souls who could be added to this list, I recommend Miki Endo (1986-2011). An employee of Minimisanriku's Crisis Management Department, Endo remained at her post, broadcasting disaster advice and warnings during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, eventually dying when the town was overwhelmed by the tsunami. She sacrificed her life to save so many. She was just 25 years old. Her body was discovered and identified on 23rd April 2011.

A three foot tall man relentlessly rescuing people after an earthquake? Not all heroes wear capes.

Tears and smiles throughout this one. Beautiful, uplifting & inspirational. Thank you very much!

Uplifting, heartbreaking, inspiring, awesome. Thank you.

7:32 Charles Lightoller (the second officer on board the Titanic) deserves a movie about his iconic life.

that was brilliant some amazing people true heroes

As a long time married guy, I have a piece of advice/motto. “Choose your mate carefully.” The “Brazilian Wonder Woman” photo is a perfect visual representation of which I speak. (a rock solid lady handling business, while a healthy looking fella stands there phone in hand)

In 2010, I had to switch bedrooms for my cousin and his wife since they were up here from Atlanta. I woke up due to the smell of smoke and discovered the deck was on fire. I woke up my cousin and his wife who woke up their kids. I was causing so much noise I ended up waking my stepmom up. We all got outside while I was on the phone with 911 and so was my cousin's wife. My stepmom and cousin started to spray the deck down because it was one board away from the house! By the time the fire fighters came the fire had almost been put out. I ended with a bit of PTSD because of this event and on medicine for anxiety that the fire had caused. I don't like to think about this event because it proves that I still have mental scars. I talked to my mom and dad (who is my rock) about my PTSD.

Still, there are so many great people who may never have their lives acknowledged, and yet we continue to frequently applaud those who use popularity alone to make a living whether they do good with it or not.

6:37 This was the Halifax explosion in Nova Scotia. This man had left the office and was headed to safety when he remembered the trains coming in. He went back. He died to save their lives. There are several other people who did amazing things during and after this explosion. It’s astounding to learn about

4:50 Sgt Deepak Pun's medal was obviously well deserved but there's also a bit of British Army humour in the choice of medal. Having run out of ammunition he did beat at least one Taleban fighter to death with his machine gun tripod - and they gave him the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Images of cloaks on muddy puddles to keep dainty feet dry...or Deepak Pun turning someone's head into jam. Military Medal, nah. Distinguished Service Cross, nah Victoria Cross....nah, let's call it "gallantry" Very brave man and a superb soldier

The Mongolian huntress with her eagle may not make any sense to a lot of people. If you don’t understand (even if you do) I highly recommend watching the docu/film “the eagle huntress”. Possibly the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen.

an accident like john thompson's killed my great grandfather...he got caught up in a threshing machine. all very inspiring and heart touching photos. thank you.

2 separate women have survived falling from a plane followed by an 8-9 day trek through jungle? That's insane.

This was an amazing video !!!!❤ So many brave people and so many heroic people ! I cried, about the people who lost their lives . And I smiled ,thinking of the people who savived such horrible, terrible ordeals . I will watch such an inspiring amazing video , again . Thank You !!!

Wow these are all absolutely amazing

Incredible, inspiring images and words. Severe lack of any, even one, metal riff

16:18 of people who survived desperate situation, selflessly saved other people lives and... the co-creator of reddit because he has co-created reddit.

I love that being metal AF is used as a term for those who go above and beyond to succeed. Saying "That rocks!" is cool, but saying something is metal is even more so. Long live thrash!

Too bad the shark photo is from JAWS….that’s “Bruce”, the mechanical shark rigged up for these types of shots

Carlos Hathcock. And big balls too.

Miracle stories.

Interesting bunch of stories! However 9:18( photo of shark & human) is clearly a photoshop fake

Armless pilot how odd and how does she fly?

Truly amazing video

Some of these are really good. But why so much incitement to violence?

So I like to fact check ... Cool story bra.

And yet people get award for doing absolutely nothing These people deserve all the praise and awards 🫡
