Man rescued from burning car while 20 people take videos
It's the age of social media and everyone always has a phone ready to film anything - even in life-threatening situations.
A group of bystanders filmed a man struggling to get out of a burning car instead of assisting after an accident.
A hero named Jim Angulo rushed to the man's rescue, shocked that people would simply watch and film instead of saving someone's life.

The incident took place in Miami, Florida, and the Good Samaritan who came to the man's rescue tweeted the video with the hashtag, #dontjustrecordsavesomeone. The victim sustained burns on his legs and was taken to the hospital to treat the injuries.
Jim Angulo was quoted by the New York Post, saying that he saw 20 people with their cellphones out and doing nothing to help the man.
Twitter users thanked Jim for his compassion and for saving the man's life.
