Werner Herzog could tell the story of Renn Brown: The Unwilling Eunuch and I’d still be completely captivated, so to hear him describe saving Joaquin Phoenix’s life is well worth two of my minutes. Check out the video that was adorably animated by Sascha Ciezata of IT’S ALIVE Animation, whose When Lynch Met Lucas swept the internet before being yanked due to audio copyright.

I love that guy.
It's almost funnier from Phoenix's perspective:
The actor says, "I remember this knocking on the passenger window. There was this German voice saying, 'Just relax.' There's the airbag, I can't see and I'm saying, 'I'm fine. I am relaxed. Finally, I rolled down the window and this head pops inside. And he said, 'No, you're not.'
"And suddenly I said to myself, 'That's Werner Herzog!' There's something so calming and beautiful about Werner Herzog's voice. I felt completely fine and safe. I climbed out. I got out of the car and I said, 'Thank you,' and he was gone."
