    Toyota, BFGoodrich, and all of the other companies stepping up are amazing. People can argue PR all that they want, but the bottom line is that these companies’ generosity will help someone in need that sacrificed for others even while he was losing everything.

    This guy absolutely deserves everything that is being offered and done for him. While I was reading the various stories about this what stuck out in my mind was what about the guy in the bulldozer that moved burning cars out of the way. He needs be thanked as well. they are both heros in my mind.

    This was posted above but reading this article, his quotes, the thought of this story playing out man it makes me feel great knowing that humans can still be heroes when needed.
    It also pisses me off though reading that others, say some pretty stupid things not thinking of the fact that real ass people are living through this hell and fighting literally to stay alive.

    I keep coming back to this story as it's just so real. I hope his trauma passes and he can sleep well and come back on here to say hello.
    Such motivation to be better.

    This story is what got me looking at Toyota, after being a big three lifer. Both my lady and want to support a company that supports folks like this... our new Tundra purchase is underway.

    Huge thumbs up Toyota and obviously to Panda, and the dozer driver (would love to learn more about that part of the story).
