That guy has a pair of brass ones
You would think most of those guys would run.
I love how he got right in to action, while all those other guys stood around oblivious to everything. If you are too afraid to help, run! If you're just going to stand around like an idiot, get the hell out of the way!
Everybody was helping, there was only one guy standing there and not nearly in the way.Quote:

No panic, job well done.
Assume a static spark ignition, due to not adequately grounded?
