Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.
Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."
"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."

Alipay won’t go through.
Fare: HK$5.10.
Instead of asking for help, she starts screaming that Hong Kong is “backward,” that she is “not broke,” and that the man who told her to pay is “a disgrace to Chinese people.”
A woman still paid for her.
Imagine if she had just said “sorry, my Alipay isn’t working.” Someone would have tapped Octopus in three seconds.
The fare was never the problem. The attitude was.

As our Chair @benedictrogers says, we must ensure that the truth prevails, and that the courage and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in pursuit of democracy are never forgotten.
