Lost a man today. He hit the bridge by my place and rolled over. His engine caught fire. I ran out and grabbed two extinguishers and my wife a third but we couldn’t get the fire out. Someone else tried to smash the window to get the guy out because the doors wouldn’t open but couldn’t. I ran back to the house for a sledge hammer and another extinguisher and started hearing him screaming. By the time I made it back the screaming stopped and it was too late, the gas tank caught fire and that was it.
Things happen fast, you do what you can but in the end you’re sometimes never prepared enough. So prepare as much as you can while you can and pray for the best.
Figured I could find a compilation video of all the police and others trying and failing to break car windows, alas that video doesn't yet exist. Suffice it to say I've seen dozens of Strong Men using hammers, mag lights, metal batons and even tools specifically designed for breaking car windows fail over and over again, and they weren't under the stress of having the car on fire while trying to do it.

Only thing I've seen reliably break windows is a sledge.
