When I was teaching First Responders, we used to tell them, not to call out "will someone call 911" for no one would.
We used to teach them to pick someone out of the crowd and ask them " Will YOU call 911" you get much better response.
The American Red Cross, among others, have conducted studies on "crowd mentality" vs personal "mentality" People act differently in a crowd.
