The Most Daring Rescues of 2020 

The dads face who was holding his kid in the flood killed me. The pain and desperation was sincere and unsettling.

"There were about 20 people with their phones out..." This is what's called the bystander effect and is the result of everyone thinking that someone else is going to help. Even if you see someone already helping in a situation, if there's something you can do, DO IT.

Crowd: OMG! That cars in the lake Anthony: hold my leg

if you’re ever not feeling courageous, remember a man with a missing leg jumped into the ocean swam and rescued a car passenger deep in waters

When that guy mentioned "I looked around and everyone was just filming and not doing anything" I felt that. People need to be better.

People say "we need more people like them" but no one says "we need to be like them"

It’s crazy to me that people just stand there and record something horrific instead of helping. People lack empathy and stay to witness something tragic just for the shock factor. Sickos.

If you ever feel useless remember 20 people recorded someone almost die

Imagine that your burning alive on the side of the road and cars and just driving on by, thank God them people helped

The guys had no leg and saved a family what a hero 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

The dude who jumped in the water with only one leg… Earned every single ounce of respect I have.

Damn.. 1:20 he’s a swimmer and a life guard…. He was right where he needed to be that night 💗

“I saw 20 people standing with their phones out not trying to save his life” 😒😒 Sounds about right....

My dad had a massive heart attack driving. He said at least 10 people passed him as he laid hanging out the car door on the side of the road with his hand up. Finally, someone stopped and drove him to the hospital. The guy's name who stopped was Buster. My dad's dad's name (who had passed, my grandpa) was called Buster ironically. Thank you, Buster for saving my daddy who went on to bring joy to me and my three children who lovingly call him grandpa ❤

What a wonderful thing to hear; "I can breathe now!"

As a former lifeguard I can honestly say it becomes instinct and that instinct sticks with you even after you leave that job. When you see someone drowning, you'll be in the water before you even have time to think about it.

“We need more people like them!” Nah, we need to BE people like them.

Most touching scene was the man rescued from the burning car reaching up to shakes the rescuers hand🌹🌹🌹

One more thing, in this video I see people of all different backgrounds and ethnicities helping each other. Take a minute and think about that. We do love one another if we stop listening to the media and the politicians and we take a look around we will see we aren't as divided as they tell us we r

I was once in a burning car and a guy saved me and I’m so grateful for all these good people!!

Seems there's a glimmer of hope for humanity

Sad shame. 20 people recording, while the truck is on fire.

The "Karen" with the choking is the best kind of Karen!

“I can’t even do a push-up” LOL her adrenaline was pumping

Most American thing lol. "Call 911!!" "No,no I can breathe". * don't need those bills killing me as I die haha

those people that thought "oh let me take out my phone and record this man in a burning car so I can show my family this moment" deserve the deepest part of hell, smh.

The most daring recues is the doctors and nurses helping people with covid-19

This is why we need each other and why we shouldn’t be destroying each other

"I cant even do a push up" hey, same here.

The fact that so many people can drive past something like a burning vehicle with people inside and NOT feel like they HAVE to stop and do SOMETHING is scary. The fact that they pull out their phones to record the tragedy taking place is even scarier.

I was in a bad car accident about a year ago and when I see videos like this, I'm always thankful to the people that stopped and helped get me and my family out of the car.

It’s actually proven that in life or death situations your body can do things you had no idea you could physically do.

omg 20 people started recording, thats littearly the bystander effect

There’s very little I wouldn’t do to help others in an emergency. Thank you to these people for their work and inspiring others. Let’s rebuild the community in this country!

I remember my Kindergarten teacher told us that once she saw a woman in a wheelchair stuck on the tracks and a train was coming and she got out of her car and saved her. I don’t know how true this story is but she said it was true.

Fun fact: the 20 people that was there and not helping were cannibals and waiting for their meal to cook

Makes me wanna cry that there’s faith in humanity still

I never understood how people could just stand by...I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I just stood there and allowed someone to die that would haunt me

Running towards a car fire to save someone is heroic ! Something we all should do regardless but still heroic

If you look at the kids on the roof the little brother is comforting his scared sister. He's got his arm around her the whole time. Sweet

Wow Anthony hat's off, I can't imagine his heroic efforts. And he is such a fast swimmer.

Imagine If that girl divorced her husband so she can marry the lifeguard…

How could you dislike this video everyone got saved meanwhile others not so lucky in similar fashion 🙏

20 people at the side, with their cameras up. Now, this is the sad reality these days.

My faith in humanity has been restored

I love when people come together for each other.. Thank you heroes... We should come together for everything, this world would definitely be a better place...

One act of random kindness will change the world everybody

For the first one she’s not a Karen she’s a hero

I will say Merry Christmas to all brave heroes saving people's life.

I love how they said hold on to that kid. Amazing use of land equipment. Who knew? I love land men...They're Rockstars.

Thank You to all who participated in the various rescues on this video. That's what IT MEANS TO BE HUMANE AND ACT HUMANE TOWARDS YOUR FELLOW MAN!!!!

The amputee was amazing he took of his own legs to get the person out of the car

I'm so disappointed...20 people with there phones out WHEN THERE A BURNING MAN IN IT.

News channels need to show more of this.

With all the terrible things people do to each other seeing what selfless acts people do for each other gives you hope

“I can’t even do a push-up.” I felt that 🖐😔

When the need arises, man becomes a hero. It lies within us all. What a wonderful feeling. Bravo!!

Heroes come in many shapes & sizes & do the right thing even when nobody is watching.

A wreck happened in front of me back in 2020, and the front of one of the cars caught on fire shortly after it came to a stop. Myself and some others who had witnessed the crash quickly ran to the burning vehicle where there was a man, barely awake, in the front seat with his legs pinned between the seat and the dash. It was horrifying. If you’ve ever seen a car on fire, you know the fire spreads very quickly. We were unable to open the driver door (because it was damaged in the crash), but eventually he was pulled out through the passenger side door. He never could have made it out on his own, so it’s a miracle that there just happened to be people there at that time of night because the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames within a couple of minutes. The other vehicle had overturned, and people were trying to help that driver and keep him alert, but there was no way to get him out of the car. He was still alive when EMS got there, but he passed away at the scene shortly after he was put into the ambulance. It was a tragic and terrifying experience. 😔

Awww the little brother holding his sister on top of the car. 😭❤

In the last clip where the driver of the burning car held out his hand to his rescuer in thanks and the rescuer took it, I teared up. Such a beautiful moment between two humans. We should always be there for each other!

"It is during the worst times, the best in us show up. So GOOD to see and remember what the power of LOVE can do.

I got chills. Thank you to all the people who stepped up to help..

The bystander effect takes most of us by surprise. With this terrible year, I needed this

She said idk where i got the strength from. Women that’s called friend ship strength

fact that peoples first reaction is to pull their phones out and record someone's life in danger rather than helping says a lot about them

I SWEAR THANK GOD FOR THEM PEOPLE!!!! for the ones recording you should be ashamed

Am I the only one crying? To see people so desperate to survive... to see people showing kindness for a cat... to see that little girl crying on top of the car as the water rushed around her... and then to see a helping hand and the relief on their faces, in their eyes... the relief that they're not alone. Be that helping hand, please!

My dad and my mom were going to a wedding once. My mom left first and after a while so did my dad. On the way there he saw a car crash into another one and push of the road down a big hill. He said the car tumbled and flipped the whole way down then caught fire. He immediately stopped his car and ran down the hill with a fire extinguisher. He put out the fire first. He told me he thought the people in it where for sure dead. Once he got down to the car he tried to open the doors. They were stuck so he had to break them off. In the car were a woman and her daughter. The daughter had down syndrome but my dad didn't know so he thought she was just young. He took the woman's seat belt off and carried her out of the car. Next he went and got the girl. She was scared and started biting his hands out of fear, that's when he realized she had down syndrome. Once they were both out of the car he asked the woman if she could remember and phone numbers of friends and family. She gave him 2 numbers. A little while later a very pregnant lady and a taxi driver arrived. The girl who was still in shock said "He broke it." meaning he broke the door.The taxi driver thought she meant he crashed into them, so he asked my dad "Sir, did you push them off the road?" The woman said "No no no, if it weren't for him we would be gone." Once the ambulance came they were taken to a hospital. They didn't suffer any major injuries except for some bruises from the seat belts, a broken rib or two and a broken leg or something. Needless to say my dad was a hero!

HUGE Props to that swimmer dude with the prosthetic. Props to all those of these bad ass dads!

Someone: Literally Dying 20 Damn people: *"Ooo Finally some footage for my channel"*

When the man from the burning car reached out to shake his rescuers hand that had to been one hell of a moment. Made my heart happy 🙏🏻🤍

I love when people help each other it shows that everyone has morality if they believe it or not

The camera guy: The Savior: you gonna help? The camera guy: you got this

Can we all just say that all these hero’s were in danger of losing their lives just to save all these people

It’s amazing how people just stand there and watch

Video: *people almost dying.* Person in video: lemme record this.

This is honestly so beautiful, you don’t see race here, just human beings helping one another 🥺

For every hero in this video, I hope they get exactly what they deserve, paradise in their afterlife.

Thank God we still have very.good people in our planet.

I feel for that steak guy, I’ve choked on a steak also and it wasn’t fun, my friends thought I was joking until I turned purple and one of them was able to help me and I was fine within seconds

The thing I’m most scared of is choking..it’s happened to me 5 times and I’m just thinking- how many more times before I actually die? Yknow? 😐

Great video. So many heroes. I think the one with the dad and his four kids hit me the most. I am a father of 4 myself and he was in a situation where it was possible he could not save all his children. Glad they were all saved.

Thank goodness so many lives were saved. Bless you rescuers. ..

Prove that good people is still out there

Flood man was a titan. Pushing against the rushing water while carrying someone, and then helping someone else get to safety.

Props to these people, they're the reason why i still have faith in humanity.

sometimes when i lose faith in humanity, i go to these videos and awe, what wonderful heroes

That moment with the guy thanking his rescuer by shaking his hand nearly made me cry

Dude that last one is heartbreaking. A literal car on fire and all those people just passing by like theres nothin there.

Amazing people still do exist... no matter how much we the world is falling apart.. God bless you all for your heroic act.

i hope 2021 rescues us from 2020 😞✋

HEROS, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY!! Blessed Be.

Some times people instead of helping they will just take the video. Thanks to our brave men and heroes.

Thank God for the people who don't just drive on by. They have a heart, a conscience, a soul.

I believe that all these people who were called “hero’s” actually made me believe the sentence “some hero’s don’t need capes” :D

I can dare myself to help everyone in disasters without stopping.

These moments were mind blowing ! Thank God for the kindness of mere man that still exists

Its nice to know there's people like them. Theres too many heartless people in this world.

Believe it or not, the world is full of good people. My thanks to all the heroes out there.
