I just learned that a distant acquaintance was involved in one hell of a crash

How in the heck can anyone jump out of a Cherokee while on fire, from the back seat?
 
Yeah...read it way too fast...I also thought it had happened recently.
 
Fire is the best lubricant known to mankind.
Upside-down once in a burning car. After unlatching the harness, I think 0.1 second elapsed before I was out. I don't even remember unlatching the window net, but I must've...:eek::eek:

Ain't that the truth....

Been there, had the T-shirt before it burned....
 
Never experienced being in a fire but I can see the motivation, and strength, to get out. Read many reports of similar exploits.
 
Been on fire twice...didn't like it either time :eek: Will always have the scars from the construction fire, but no damage from the aircraft maintenance fire. Adrenaline seems to make your mind compress time by a huge factor.
