A man bravely runs towards a burning car to save the driver's life- but first, let me set up my phone to record it.

After a dangerous street racing car crash, a driver is inside the car while it catches on fire. A passerby saw the accident and ran to help the man.

But first, he set up his phone to record the entire thing. My concern isn't that he wanted recored himself saving the guy's life, the problem is why would you take the time to set up the phone VERTICAL. When seconds count, you're going to take a few to set up your camera at least make sure that you set it up the right way.

The crash was due to illegal street racing so recording the aftermath of the crash may help him if he somehow gets caught up in the legal issues that will no doubt arise from the incident. So props to him for making sure his participation is documented. Also great job on saving this man's life. Next time, just turn your camera sideways.
