Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death while 38 of her neighbors stayed in their apartments. The victim was constantly screaming for help and it took the assailant almost 30 minutes to kill her yet no one even reported the crime to the police, never mind help. A Manchester, New Hampshire woman was brutally raped in a yard just a couple of steps away from her apartment. She was in full view of several neighbors but none came to her cries of help. A Raleigh motorcyclist was injured in an accident and lay on a crowded highway waiting for help. He counted 900 cars in over 3 hours before one stopped to him help. In Boston, a third-year medical student was jumped by four men while coming home from the hospital and many people watched but never intervened. In New York City a bunch of people stood around joking as a 30-year-old man was electrocuted on the third rail of the subway station at Times Square.

Those are only a few examples.
