If he would have reached her, the humane thing to do would have been pulled her over that ledge and let her go. I agree on these being the hardest to watch. I wish I could find the EMS CE I watched in EMT school bad in the 90s. A counterweight, basically a huge slab of concrete and steel, fell off the back of a mobile crane. It was at night. A guy in a small car hit it at freeway speeds. They were filming as they extricated him. 4th degree burns, the typical full body char. But it looked like he moved. They panned away then back to him. Guy was rocking back and forth. He survived being on fire until the fire department got there and extinguished the fully involved car on arrival. He lived through the extrication process. The flight medics on the helicopter said since his face was gone and charred he just estimated the spot to tube his airway. Just jammed the tube through the blackened featureless char. That made an impression on me. I see the only logical course of action is to put a bullet in his brain and end his suffering. This was in the United States. I don't know how the judicial system would handle it. But his suffering needed to end sooner rather than later. I'll try to search for that video.
let us know if you find it....pls
