I recently saw some videos of accidents. Most of the victims were alive, some had physical wounds, some were bleeding profusely, and some had no physical injuries and just lay on the ground.

Others were saying to the victims “you will not die”, “do you have a phone number we can call?”…………………… Unfortunately, I did not see anyone equipped with a first aid box!
