David Purley has my whole respect as a fair and brave sportsman. It' s impossible to find someone guilty for what happened, but there was a german ONS-Unit at this time with modern rescue equipment, wellt trained rescue specialists with fireproof wear, paramedics and doctors. It was the first unit of this character at this time in the world. The dutch racing-organizer didn't want them at this race. Maybe they would have been a help!? Who knows...
R.I.P. Roger and David.
Greetings from Germany

We keep going round in circles here
I was at Zandvoort that year but didn't see this.
Afterwards I found it emotionally shattering to watch, wondering why people 'just stood by' while only 1 guy tried to help.
As others have said, it was F1 safety policy thar let Roger down
David had a fireproof suit - if any of those marshalls had tried to touch the car their hands would've melted.
The other drivers weren't to know what was going on. After this they stopped for any car on fire, eg Lauda

God bless you David Purley for your efforts to save Roger. Shame on everybody else who stood back and just watched.
