Chivalry

http://waiterrant.net/?p=935

I was reading this article written by Waiter Rant, questioning as to whether chivalry is dead or not.

It reminded me of a scene I was dispatched to early one morning.
It was a one car rollover with fatalities. This car was making a transition from one freeway to another at a high rate of speed. This car was holding at least 12 people. No one was wearing seat belts, there wouldn't have been enough for everyone anyway. We arrived on scene to find two dead bodies, both female, four critically injured, all female, three more females who stayed with their family and friends. There were at least three men in this car at the time of the accident. Only one stayed behind, he had a broken leg and couldn't run. The rest of the passengers (all men) ran as soon as the car stopped rolling. Not one man stayed to assist his injured family or friends. In this case chivalry was dead along with a few of his passengers.
