What?

This story reminds me of the good samaratin story.. but with a more sad ending.
A person who is called a holidaymaker died after falling down some steps getting off an airplane. the article said that she was taken care of badly and was left on the ground bleeding for a good while before an ambulance came and got her, and that the ambulance people didn't take care of her well there either. but this next part is what made me go 'wait... what?'

"Holiday firm Thomson has changed its procedures in the aftermath of the tragedy, after admitting there was a confusing 'grey area' of responsibility on stairs between cabin crew and ground staff.

Witness Alison Pike told investigators she was just behind Mrs Mellon when the pensioner lost her footing on the seventh step and slipped.

Graham Corbett, another passenger on the plane, said he saw Mrs Mellon stumble on the bottom step, twist and fall, her head hitting the concrete 'like a boxer'.
The holiday company's report, drawn from ground crew accounts, was that Mrs Mellon had fallen from no higher than the third step."

what gets me is that if i see someone bleeding on the ground unconcious, i would jump right in there and help out! it shouldn't be one person's responsibility! it should be everyones! if we can't help eachother out in our daily lives there is no way we can help out the whole world and solve all the problems like everyone is trying to do. especially when they see someone in need and passes them up like that! my goodness!
