And I'm not saying that they SHOULD have done something. All I'm saying is that the attitude to 'run cause the guy is dead anyways'....is wrong. And pathetic. Everyone can say all they want how someone 'helping' could have made the situation worse. Well, I'm saying someone 'helping'...might have given the victim a fighting chance. But of course, now we'll never know.
Hitting a 'vital' place on the neck, or anywhere else on your body is harder than the movies make it out to seem. We've both seen hockey players cut their neck open on skate blades but still survive.

Sorry but no. Having a skate open a wound vs ramming a blade 6 inches to your neck are 2 very different types of wounds. Never mind the quality of help you have on hand the second the injury happens at an NHL arena vs the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. This took everyone on the bus by surprise so he probably could have stabbed him twice before anyone knew something happened and probably at least 5 times before anyone realized what was actually happening. never mind actually stop him and help this poor SOB.
Never mind the logistics and risks of stopping this... even in the best case scenario this guy is done for by the time anyone can get to the attacker. Even in an ideal scenario with a team of properly trained medical professionals in a sterile environment with all the medical supplies they have in an ER - have fun trying to treat 10-20 stab wounds to the neck. What are a couple random people on a greyhound going to be able to do to save this guys life once the attack is over?
