Minutes after the Oklahoma City bombing a nurse rushed into the wreckage to help search for victims.
She had neither training nor equipment for this type of rescue work.
Debris fell on her unprotected head and killed her.
Those responding and attending to her could have been looking for bomb victims instead.
And her family wouldn’t have lost a wife and mother.
Sometimes the action of the Lone Hero works but usually only enough to encourage the ignorant to think that ignoring rescue rules and procedures is a good thing.

I beg to differ my wife is a nurse and she has the training for saving lives without equipment,stopping bleeding or giving cpr does not require equipment,climbing down a cliff in total darkness while two others are standing their without a rope watching is not to bright especially when their truck had everything needed and no one thought to bring a rope.yes he did save the kid but it could have been a tragedy if they both fell down the cliff and were killed.
When you’re trapped in a car burning alive, do you want the untrained bystander to pull you out or call 911?
Rescuers get hurt and die, sometimes more rescuers get hurt or die than could have died if they did nothing. People that can’t except that shouldn’t go into that line of work. Taking that risk is what makes us human. The “safe choice” is too often quite inhumane.
