[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop with bashing the people who fled the restaurant.  People do strange things when startled like that.  They had no time to think.  Some people are just bad in emergency situations.  Some people faint at the sight of blood.  I know for a fact that I would have been the one performing the CPR on her, because I've been in emergency situations before.  But I am able to recognize that people are not all built the same way.

I was just listening to an audiobook about an hour ago that said that people who respond well in emergency situations like this are highly empathetic people.  They are courageous, of course, but having empathy for others in distress is what causes them to act.[/quote]

i think it's hard to predict how you would react in the moment, whether you are an empathetic person or not. i'm sure for many a very instinctive fight or flight response kicks in when you see all that blood.  i would think getting hands-on first aid training to desensitize you a bit to blood and to have some muscle memory kick in to counter that instinctive panicked response would help. hope i never have to find out how i would react in such a terrible situation.[/quote]

+1 I was shocked by the video of people fleeing too, but it is absolutely true none of us knows how we'd respond. I'm heartbroken at the thought of her dying with no-one comforting her though, and truly hope that was not the case.[/quote]

We ALL failed her.[/quote]

Nope. Not me. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, and you can take your assigning everyone microamounts of guilt and go pound sand.
