I'd be shocked if no one helped me too. But at the same time, I think as a whole we've moved towards a more individualistic and self-interested society. For one reason or another (safety concerns, time issues, etc) we see fewer people reaching out to strangers. It's sad.

Many are not willing to sacrafice themselves for others. So out of fear they drive off and try to put it to the back of there minds.
