On witnessing a car slowly backing into a river in Turkey’s capital city Istanbul, a group of thoughtful passers-by sat on the bonnet of the car to prevent it from falling in.

According to reports, the rented car was parked outside a museum. As it slowly began moving backwards to the edge of Bosphorus, those good samaritans decided to not move from the car’s bonnet till the crane finally arrived and pulled the car out of danger.
