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.
Lucky break that the wrecked car was a kei car (Japan's compact 'light' cars) — rare case where that actually worked in his favor.

Nah, he's in the car that was recording it — the dashcam car.

Whoever caused this crash better not get behind a wheel again — surviving a dumb accident like this was basically a miracle.

What kind of accident was it, anyway?

This has gotta be huge for the school's image, right?
Wonder if he gets a bonus out of it.

I could pull that off too, I just never get the chance.

That door was hot enough to burn your skin, man.

Wild that he even thought he could bend the door.
Most people who wanted to help would still be too scared to get near a burning car — this guy is legitimately cool.

Just the thought of touching a burning car is nuts on its own.
And he actually got the guy out. Genuinely badass.

If the driver wasn't pinned in, couldn't he have broken it open from the inside himself? Was he just too panicked to move, or was he not strong enough?

Which do you think gets you more force — pushing while sitting down, or standing up and throwing your full body weight into it?

That first light touch was probably him checking it wasn't scorching hot to the point of being unbearable.
Lucky the fire hadn't spread over the whole car yet.
Still, it's dangerous — ideally you'd want gloves or a helmet, but I doubt many people keep those in their car.

Even if it's too hot bare-handed, he probably could've stripped off his shirt and used it to grip and pull.

A fire extinguisher would've been the ideal thing to have on hand.

Even with the guy inside coughing that bad, is dousing the fire one second faster with an extinguisher actually the right call?

These doors bend more easily than you'd think — I tried bending my mom's kei car door once for fun.
Put my full 120kg into it and it just caved right in. Mom was in tears of joy over how strong I am.

This tweet is way too funny.

Wild how just changing the thread title changes how much traction it gets. The first thread I ever made, three days ago, had some snarky title mocking PE teachers, and sure enough it never even hit 20 replies.

Contrarian takes just kill the mood.
The guy did something genuinely admirable here.
