AP Photographer, TNG-CWA Member, Helps Save Women in Burning Car

A TNG-CWA member appears on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.

NBC Nightly News has a full report on the uplifting story of good Samaritans, including Associated Press photographer Gerald Herbert, a member of News Media Guild-CWA.

One of the first on the scene of an accident in Mississippi, Herbert found a woman inside a burning SUV screaming for help. He tried to get her out, and flagged down other motorists; nearly 20 stopped. When the rescue of the woman and her sister were certain, only then did Herbert begin taking the magnificent pictures NBC Nightly News uses liberally in its report.

"That was one of the most horrible feelings in my life to walk up there — run up there and see her pinned and to hear her screams as the flames were getting bigger, her screams for help," Herbert told NBC.
