Something to remember about situations like this where time is of the essence, don't just yell "Someone call 911/for help!" Actually DESIGNATE someone from the crowd to do so. The bystander effect assumes that someone else will do it. Don't let people think like that. While doing CPR, you're told to point specifically at someone to call for assistance. Same goes for something like this.

Yep, point to someone and loudly command them to call 911 NOW. This is First Aid 101.

Had to do that myself once, not a fun time. Had an emotional breakdown after. EMT and medical professionals at large have my utmost respect.

To anyone reading this, the bystander effect is maybe not as strong as we once thought. Mainly because a 2019 study showed more than 200 real-life situations caught on CCTV where the bystander effect was not shown to happen.

It wasn't even real in the Kitty Genovese case, which is the most famous "example" of it happening.

It's still good practice. Suddenly everyone is looking at that person to do the thing, and if they don't the problem is more clear.
