๐จWOW!!!
A car flew OFF a Houston overpass and landed UPSIDE DOWN on the freeway below with three women trapped inside...
...and total strangers grabbed SLEDGEHAMMERS and their BARE HANDS and refused to let them die!! โค๏ธ
It happened on the Southwest Freeway at Beltway 8.
Police say the car was speeding down the elevated HOV lane, lost control, smashed through the barrier, went AIRBORNE, and slammed down ROOFTOP-FIRST onto the main lanes below.
All three women were trapped and SCREAMING for help
...and Houston did NOT drive past.
One of the men who stopped is named Jack Johnson.
He didn't even see the car go off. He just saw the barrier crumble and a crushed car sitting in the middle of the road.
He said something just told him to stop.
He got out, ran toward it, and what he heard he'll never forget:
"Get me out. Get me out. Help me! Help me!"
Young women, screaming from inside a car folded nearly in half.
"And I thought about my little girls," Jack said.
Suddenly nearly a dozen total strangers began feverishly trying to rescue the women.
One man climbed ON TOP of the car. Someone smelled gas and grabbed fire extinguishers, just in case. Others went at the metal with sledgehammers, poles, and their bare hands until the first responders showed up and those women were free.
Everybody took a task. Nobody was in charge. Everybody just... helped.
Miraculously...all THREE women survived!!!
When it was over, everyone went back to their lives.
Jack says he's still hoping to find the other men who stopped, and the three women, just to know they're okay.
And when he talked about why they did it, he said this:
"Houston comes together. At a time of need, we come together."
Three women are going home to their families because a handful of strangers decided a wrecked car full of screaming girls was worth stopping their entire lives for and getting first responders.
GOD BLESS Jack Johnson and every single stranger who ran TOWARD that car.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
