If you saw someone fell off their bike in traffic, would you stop and help or just walk away? Many people would go about their business and just do nothing. So it was a big surpri when about 100 bystanders got together to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it. A video of the incident went viral on social media.
According to Zoheb, a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue, five more people gathered to move the bus. He says, “ There was no chance we could do it; it was more an invitation for other people to help, really. Our action paid off. Diners from nearby restaurants joined in. It didn’t take long to develop a collective understanding of what the purpo was.”
Spontaneous (自发的) offer of help among strangers doesn’t happen often. People in a crowd are not sure what to do - they don’t have a plan. It’s one of the reasons bystanders often do nothing, according to Dr. Mark Levine, professor of social psychology at Exeter University in Britain. “ The prence of others can prevent you from helping,” he says.
“ The key to positive group behavior and participation”, Levine explains, “is building a n of shared identity”. Action has to be decided quickly, Levine says. “ The longer you leave it, the harder it is to make a decision. If you don’t immediately act then you may think ‘Well, actually I probably couldn’t have done anything anyway’.”
But the people who took the first action like Zoheb might make a difference. The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of collective effort might inspire others to more acts of support for each other.

A. Strangers helped rescue someone in an accident.
B. A cyclist fell over and was badly injured.
C. People just stood by and watched an accident.
