I thought the same thing. The guy definitely needs help. Why isn't anyone right there by him making sure he isn't bleeding out, etc? And also the girl in the middle of the road. Maybe she's a goner. Maybe the back side of her skull is missing and her brain is all splattered under her head and we can't see it. But maybe not. I just find it odd that nobody is at least kneeling beside her to see if there's anything that can be done to ease her passing.

If you don't have the proper training for such a situation, you could actually contribute to their death rather than save their life. On top of that, if you were to make the situation worse by doing the wrong thing and the person dies, you then open yourself up for a lawsuit from that person's family after they find out. Yeah, it happens more often than you'd think.

You don't need training to engage in dialog, or just speak to the victims. If death in imminent, at least just be by their side, because its very likely you will be the last person to interact with them on planet earth, so do your best, regardless if you think they can't hear you. Were it a family member of yours with only strangers on scene, you'd hope that they weren't ignored, right?

That is called agonal respiration. She is very close to death.

Whether you help or not, there are people laying there suffering and dying. How can you, as a normal human being, not feel compassion and want to comfort them?

True, but comfort does not require physical contact. Neither does getting names and other information from those who can talk.

The girl that was just breathing thru her lungs is so hard to watch

If they couldnt really touch them hold there freakin hands or something give the some comfort I would feel so much better knowing someone comforted my loved ones while they were like this instead of standing with a damn camera looking for a you tube post!!!! Smh just horrible!!!!!

Comforting the injured wouldn't hurt them!
