How ungrateful can we get? Sad to say it but some people should not be helped.This goes to the man who suing his rescuers who apparently took to long to rescue him.


You can read all about it over on Escort-Ireland blog.

I have a hard time believing this... how ungrateful can you get?! If someone had saved me from certain death I'd be bloody thankful, not going "well, it's awfully inconvenient that they did it now. I'd have preferred earlier!" What a knob

fucking ass whole this dickhead should be dumped in the ocean in his car , the god news is no jury in the world will be on his side and im sure there will be many protests if any of the rescuers are brought to court , plus the guy will be shoned and stoned by anynody that knows what he done

some people

I'm confused, did this happen in England during the floods? If so, then this guy who may have been working all his life, has contributed to the emergency service and I don't see why he should be 'grateful' to be rescued, any more than he should feel 'grateful' to make use of a hospital if he is unwell.

I understand in a flood situation that there may be lots of people needing help, but I think if I was stuck in a submerging car for two hours and I had alerted the emergency services of my dilemma, I too may be feeling a little let down and concerned that two hours had passed before being rescued and it had got so bad that divers needed to be used to rescue me. Likely if they had turned up in half the time, it would not have been quite such a traumatic experience.

I don't think suing is the answer in these cases, but I do think he has a right to be a bit pissed off.

People seem to claim on any situation these days and it's really not going to make anything better, just put systems under further pressure. I'm sure if I felt I was about to die and had been abandoned I may not feel so happy and lets face it, he could have ended up brain dead or disabled in some other way having been left so long. It was more luck than anything he is able to complain at all.

it was the states , still emergency services would have been inundated with calls , yes he was there for 2 hours but when hurican katrena came along people were stuck on there houses for days , should they all sue ? no , if you look at the video the rescues are risking there lives and when a disater happens they do it more times a day making it much more likely they will get injured themselfs , so what if he was traped there for 2 hours , he goes home into a warm bed and rests , there onto the next job to save peoples lives , if it was me and they had to cut my legs and arms off i would be still gratefull to be alive

Yamser my first question 'was where did this happen' Remembering England has just had floods, so I was thinking in terms to English weather. We don't tend to get hurricanes and stuff like that and there is a much smaller population.

Also, I did say that I didn't think suing was the answer, so not sure why you just said exactly what I said, but like I never said it.

No I haven't seen any of the video's and it might have been a good idea to attach one with the thread, to make clear who we were talking about.

Where it happened and the severity of what happened plays a big part in the reaction to what he did and without all that information, it is impossible to say. I was guessing it to have been England.

I think he was left too long in the car and the water went to his head and this in turn has resulted in some serious brain damage.

Ungrateful sod, should be made pay for the rescue.
