Video

I just read the first chapter of this book and am now watching these videos… I knew no knowledge of any of this when I bought the book several months ago. I only felt that I should wait to actually read it until July 30th since that’s the first date I saw in the book. Reading this book today, July 30th, 2024 … exactly 104 yrs after his death brings me this grief. Yet, I’m thankful to be honoring him in this way. This is a neat.. yet odd experience. Thank you for bringing this man and his research back to life.

What a wonderful man. RIP

Having just read and greatly enjoyed your book, this is so poignant to watch.

I've just spent the past two days delightedly immersed in The Spirit Engineer, and have been completely captivated by the people and their story. Discovering that there are also these videos, through which I can further explore their background, is an absolute treat! Thank you so much.

Only racer I grieve for.

Simply a legend. Honour his memory with a helicopter bearing his name

This was a terrific read. I finished it at the beginning of this year and still think about it!

I don’t know anything about racing. I know even less about medical. Knew nothing of Hinds til 6 hours ago. Binge listening as I sand floors. I’ve always respected first responders, fireman, anyone put in life and death situations. Many that are quite traumatic. Using humor to make certain points or to take the pressure off an intense moment indicates someone that was extremely knowledgeable and caring. And it helped he understood the attraction to racing. I am much like John in that the more stressful, serious situation, I calm and become a leader. In trauma, having John there I’m sure lowered anxieties of medics and patients. And families of deceased know that if John was there, they can be at peace knowing everything that could be done , was done. I have no idea why this popped up in my feed but anytime I hear the roar of a cycle , I’ll think of John. If there are any links to an in-depth story of what occurred his last day I’d appreciate it

I'm reading your book for the first time at the moment and watching this video and seeing William's place of work in the flesh, the building as you describe it in the book, both the interior and exterior, is exactly as I imagined it to look.

You got the air ambulance bud.... Rip

Seagulls are honestly very greedy birds on the planet. They have attacked people and put people in hospital. Plenty of people felt threatened by the seagulls.

Hi Andrew, just to let you know that I've published a book about Dundonald Cemetery and also lead tours there. The tour last Sunday called at Dr Crawford's grave, but I think it's a different plot from the one pictured in your video. I can send you a photo of where I think he's buried - also unmarked - if you're interested? Thanks. Peter

A fine honourable man. Bravest of the Braves. But how sad it is and how dangerous are these motorbike races as evidenced by the recent fatalities in motorbike races on Isle of Man. It's terrible to see this loss of life occuring amongst these bravehearts

why do videos from 2009 look like they're from the 80s?

A Tartarian building . . . . . . .

World Hero.

GOOD. HAVE. HIM. NOW. BLESSED. BE 4 EVER. THIS. TRUE. HERO...WE MISS HIM. MAY. THE LOVE OF. US. KEEP HIS MEMORY ALIVE ..AND. GOD BE. WHIT ALL. THAT MISS HIM...R.I.P..MY. FRIEND

lets hope the little self entitled pissed up tarts don't find themselves alone and vulnerable one night.......

What a shame.

When I hear Bangor I think of the city in Maine USA.

U met me in new college Leicester it’s me Ankit the one who came in front. It was amazing experience meeting you

He is my uncle

They're called pickie rocks because in Ulster-scots a Pickie is a small coalfish

Being a Magician and having a lot of Respect for Houdini I have read his memoirs. By chance I heard about and read Spirit Engineer. It is a great book. It has led me to look more at the history of the characters. These videos are very interesting. I recommend anyone watches the videos and read the book the Spirit Engineer.

I love this, reading the book at the moment and I will definitely be recommending it! Your characterisation of Crawford is fantastic, you really give a sense of him as a person with all his foibles and the plot is gripping.

RIP doctor .

I hope his family adds a marker to his grave. The shame surrounding his suicide should be ended, and his troubles viewed with compassion.

R.I.P. doctor John. A great man.

An inspirational Man who every pre-hospitalist could learn a lot from. Im really happy to see that his fight for an air ambulance was continued and finally realised...and that they honoured his memory by naming it after his call sign. RIP Dr. John.

A very special man 😂💖,.

I love first responders!

Good man, gone too soon, i hope, i'll meet him someday. PS: Fuck the cunts that thumbed down.

The world needs far more men like John Hinds, as he was a rare man in a field of rare men.

I though doctor john hind is someone so old like a grandfa... rest in peace great man

RIP my friend,you made a difference and will be missed

Hero

Omg I didn’t know he’d died. I watched one of his lectures a while back on the medical teams at the Isle of Man and what a cracking fellow he is his sense of humour is second to none R.I.P John though I didn’t know you, you were a hero without the cape to many.

R.I.P. I can honestly say that if I crashed my bike id pray DrJohn be the first on the scene. Many riders out there surely wouldnt be around today if it werent Dr John. The man deserves a statue/monument I'm memorial at the very least. Absolutely a terrible loss.

Crazy that the North has no air ambulance they have no motorways and mainly bad roads if out in the sticks you are pretty well fucked if you have an accident and are in need of urgent care wot a fucking scandal lime

1:50 are we not gonna talk about how this guy bird just phased into existence

True man and a hero!

Godspeed John Godapeed

His SMACC talks were very interesting. Good man RIP

Bloody sport for the chosen ones, I guess. Too bad it demanded the life of this great man while in voluntary duty to help and save other crash victims with the risk of crashing himself. There might be some irony in this observation but it testifies how exceptional this guy was and how exceptional and risky were his working conditions.

RIP Hero John.......

RIP dr. John.

RIP

I linked a John Hinds video earlier and now my CZcams feed is full of them. I feel an immense sense of pride, an aspirational pride for a man I never met.

Absolutely gutted what a legend deepest respect from South Wales bikers

Dr John was a big man
