Leave the helping to the helpers (police, firefighters, etc)

The nightly news is full of stories where the professional "helpers" arrive too late to save a victim.
What then?
Often times a good samaritan steps forward and does what he/she feels needs to be done.
Its called humanity.
I'm not necessarily saying I'd have leaped to the defense of the victim on the Greyhound bus - and I'm not faulting the other passengers who didn't either. I wasn't there and weren't in their shoes at the time. But I know my mind would be racing with thoughts of how to help...and whether I'd act would depend on the circumstances and logistics of the situation.
