Here's my question, if you do something heroic and amazing but you didn't post it on your socials did it really happen?

Santiago Portillo from Riverside, California was at work Wednesday, when a car crashed, flipped over and caught on fire. Santiago ran outside to be the hero that he is, to bravely rescue the victim in the burning car. First though, he had to take a selfie. He propped up his phone, lined it up and made sure to start the video recording before running to the victims aid.

You'll see him run over and drag the driver out of the car. Then yelled for other people to call 911. Which I find quite humorous. Why? Well he could have called 911 himself, but he would have had to stop the video.He did get his phone off the ground after a awhile. Seems he wanted to get close up shots of the blood covered victim.

Santiago said the driver's family thanked him over and over for being a hero. This heroic act was only stalled to make sure he had video.
