That One Person Could Have Been Saved

13 burned to death in Cotabato mishap involving a van and a dump truck. At least 12 commuters and a driver were burned to death in a highway mishap involving a passenger van and a dump truck. The accident occurred along the national highway in Antipas town of Cotabato around noontime on Monday, March 25. Major Godofredo Tupas, Antipas town chief of police, said the passenger van had just left the terminal of Antipas and was on its way to Kidapawan city when it got hit by an orange HOWO truck at Purok 2, Luhong village, about 10 kilometers from Antipas terminal.

Tupas said both vehicles, traveling from the opposite lanes, were negotiating a slightly curved and sloping highway when the dump truck driver lost control and rammed into the van, which had at least 15 passengers onboard. The van driver died on the spot, while the driver of the dump truck was brought to the Antipas Medical Specialist hospital. It is not yet clear if he survived. Tupas said the 12 passengers who died have yet to be identified. Castor Verdeblanco, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRO) head of Antipas town, said police scene of the crime operatives (Soco) were in the area to investigate.

Was definitely movement, couldn't tell if they were pinned under something but bet that fire was hot for them that's close.

The level of heat is preventative to allow anyone to get close enough to pull that person away. Sucks to be there and watch someone burn to death and not be able to help.

I'm sure i can see two people. One is waving two arms in the air and it looks like another smaller arm is lower down, like they are trapped underneath them and between their legs (the lower arm looks slightly darker in skin)
Round the two minute mark you can see two white arms in the air and the lower darker arm moving (sure i can see a mop of blonde hair belonging to the lower person)

Reminds me of the Pink Floyd song “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”

If the people that arrived were smart they would not walk to the people that needed help. They should have crawled. Fire is far less hot this way. That is the reason the victims seemed so abel to move for so long. Truthfully they burned very slowly that way and were more or less cooked alive
Never expect anyone to save you ever ever! Most people are not very bright or habe much common sense

Oh boy, you can tell me that once more!

One morning many years ago (I was young and stupid) I was on my way to work I saw a long line of cars ahead of me that had stopped several yards away from a burning car, the left lane was free so I swerved to my left and kept on going , when I passed by the burning car (that was two lanes to my left) the heat was incredible high! I was driving about 60 MPH so it was just an instant but the heat was unbearable.

I don't believe I could have been able to park my car two lanes away from that burning car and sit comfortably in it.

Those guys in the video were met with a burning wall of heat, I'm pretty sure they were surprised how unbearably hot it was so far away from the burning car, you don't know until you experience it first hand.

It is impossible to help the victim without getting third degree burnos all over your body by heat radiation alone!

That radiant heat would have been overwhelming Kuyah (brother)

[Mataio]

easy to say to save her but that heat wouldve been insane

[kellyhound]

that's how some bush fires start.
