We often see people making videos of horrific incidents. There was one incident last year when a girl set herself on fire and all the cameramen standing there kept filming the scene instead of stopping her from doing that. But this Athar Ali did something different..

He had a choice of only making video and then simply brag about it later but he risked his life for others. #ProudOfAtharAli

Athar Ali had said during his interview with Dunya TV yesternight that he wasn t afraid of death. "If it has to come, it will", he had said. And tweeps acknowledged his firm belief..

Bravery is something to perform properly even when scared half to death & Mr. Athar Ali you proved it very courageously. #ProudOfAtharAli

There were those as well who found their story resembling the story of this brave Pakistani s

#ProudOfAtharAli The moment when his son was running after the truck screaming "Papa Papa", brought tears to me eyes.

People called for the arrest of the driver who had left the truck driverless in the middle of a busy highway..

#ProudOfAtharAli He is a true hero, but the driver and conductor of the 22-wheeler truck should not be spared.

And there was some humor to be seen as well..

This is nothing compared to Sultan Rahi who stopped countless trucks and raging stray cows on GT road with his bare hands #ProudOfAtharAli

As always, there were a few who wanted to make Athar the next Prime Minister of Pakistan too..

I nominate Ather Ali for Prime minister, "Akhir us nay aik problem solve tu ki." #ProudOfAtharAli

One thing, however, is for sure. That Athar Ali has become a hero overnight after this video..

There were people comparing him with Keanu Reeves starrer Hollywood blockbuster Speed..

Athar is a Super Hero.. the timing of his decisions.. he reminded me of Keanu Reeve s Speed #ProudOfAtharAli

There were girls discussing his hair color..

@Jbkazi Yeah. Definitely he s younger but the hair color is in utmost resemblance to that of Arsene s lol #ProudOfAtharAli

But it must be acknowledged that at a time when people are dying like flies in the country and extremists are killing young kids in their schools, there is this guy named Athar Ali who decided to risk his own life to save others . Entire nation must be #ProudOfAtharAli
