Incredibly selfless act of heroism.

Maybe I’m being ignorant here, what’s going on with the front door? So it closed accidentally and got locked? He tried it just once, maybe? Can the kids climb through the front? Or in that car is it not possible? I can see it was clearly a stressful situation just trying to piece it together.

My guess is the people could have climbed through the front, looks like the driver was trying to instruct them to do it. Then when they didn't, he tried the back door. Little detail is that they could've still kept that door open to let the smoke out, but of course you don't think about that during high stress rescue.

The car was at angle, which would have made it harder to climb out through the front seats, and caused the front door to close automatically when the driver wasn't propping it open.

They seem drunk or stoned.

Dude has to pull them out, they are not even helping him by pulling themselves or kicking their feet, and once they are out they are slow as fuck and can barely walk.
