PE Teacher Pulls Man From Burning Car With Bare Hands — 5ch: “Wild That He Even Thought He Could Bend the Door”

A video showing a health-and-PE teacher pulling someone out of a burning car with his bare hands went viral on 5ch’s “Nanidemo Jikkyo” board (a general live-discussion/news board). While many praised him for pushing through the heat to save the person, some questioned why the driver couldn’t get out on their own. One post about the thread’s own title also drew attention — noting that engagement jumped once the headline was changed from a mocking tone to a more factual one.
