They're calling it the miracle in Logan, Utah and you may have seen the video that bears that out. A group of about a dozen people lifted up a burning car and dragged out 21-year-old Brandon Wright, who had been trapped underneath it.

Turns out, Wright told police that he deliberately skidded his motorcycle down on the road to avoid colliding with the car. But then he got trapped underneath. Wright survived.
