Think You're Having A Shitty Day?

Not as bad as this guy.

He was the passenger of this truck, which crashed and burst into flames, the driver was killed and he was trapped inside as fire raced through the car.

There was a municipal septic pump truck nearby with a full tank.  They waited for the police to arrive, and asked the police if they should release their tank to put out the fire.  The police said to do it. 

The workers pumped 1500 gallons of raw sewage to put out the fire, which took about ten minutes.  The fire company had yet to arrive.  Finally with the fire extinguished, they were able to pull the man out of the truck and get him to a hospital, where he is in critical, but stable condition.  Infection is a big concern right now because of his burns, as reported by the hospital. 

Holy shit.
