Guess you'll make more money by selling the footage to the media or posting it on your blog and get more traffic.
Being a hero has less rewards I guess

I'm the latter.
If I can help then I will, If I can't then I'll do my best to get somebody that can.
You are a great person. Well done.
Problem is that trying to act with no knowledge can sometimes be worse than doing nothing. There was a photo of a
member of MTR staff approaching the carriage with a water fire extinguisher. Lucky he didn't use it or could have been a lot worse. Who else would have just grabbed any extinguisher and used it regardless?
Completely agree.
Everyone thinks they will be a hero in a time of sudden extreme physical & emotional distress but in reality most of us are paralyzed by shock and panic.
I've some friends back home who are ex-military. I think folks like that would have reacted with bravery & logic. The rest of us - don't think so.
Did nobody see that the people helped the man to put out the flames? Therefore, they fulfilled their duty of rescue. They removed the mortal danger.
After the flames were out, nobody knew what to do. How does one treat fire wounds? Would you put alcohol wipes on his wounds? Is it safe to touch severely burnt skin? It's common knowledge not to move the injured as one is not aware of what internal injuries may have taken place. He's also the perpetrator, so his actions are also unpredictable. Is it safe to get close to him?
As to the fire, it's in a small space. It's dangerous to run inside the train looking for the fire extinguisher. The danger of carbon monoxide poisoning are very real. Going in there without expertise and without anyone being in mortal danger just seems silly to me.
I've worked in chemical plants, where I was objected to 3 full days of rigid safety training. All the behaviour I see in this video is correct. There's no safety manual in the world that describes that one should subject themselves to danger if not necessary.
