As a former firefighter and someone who knows the anatomy of car accidents intimately , I can confidently state that cars usually don't "explode" like the people in the video are referring to. A tire may pop, a fuel cell might have a minor BLEVE (google it), or gasoline leaks from the tank and suddenly ignites. But they usually don't turn into massive fireballs from an "explosion".

While I personally have a problem with someone pulling over and taking video of the incident instead of helping, I must recognize that getting too close to a burning vehicle is extremely dangerous for someone who is not formally trained to handle this scenario. Being a Porsche, it probably has magnesium components that become volatile when exposed to the heat from fire. I would have jumped in, but that's just me. I just hate that it was filmed in this manner. Very sad.

I got part way in.

And then I had to stop it.

He's gone, and he will be missed.

There's no need to modern-media to death, his death.

I imagine Walker, in heaven with Dean and McQueen and Newman, racing laps around Gods own personal Ring. That's how I want to let my memory settle, not with some burning wreck. That's too real and I just don't need those feels.

The feels I'm feeling are feely enough.

God rest your soul, Paul. My thoughts and my prayers go out to your family.
