drew pinsky. he's back with us. so dr. drew, when i saw these photos and i see other people on the platform, i think why didn't somebody try to intervene. and there's probably things we don't yet know about this case. but does it seem like kind of the classic case of the bystander effect where the presence of others hinders an individual from intervening? >> that is absolutely what it is. i hate to think of it as hindering. there are many aspects of human behavior and human psychology that sort of operate underground, so to speak, against the way we like to think about ourselves. but one of the things that has been frequently established is that this bystander effect which is that if there's one person there, you're more likely to help than if you are part of a group. counterintuitive, we don't think we would be that way, but in fact, we are. if you are trained and you are a responder, you may able to step out of that group. in fact, people frequently do and are able to start responding and that may break some of the effec
