Bottom line, if people's lives are in danger, you ****ing help them. This type of liability stuff is very overbown and will take care of itself most of the time. Either way, you can't put a price on doing the right thing.
If you are a lawyer....then you KNOW there is chance. you KNOW.
having said that....you gotta help them.
everybody has heard 10 stories about people having to serve time for absolute BS. so you take your chances by doing the right thing.
Showboating/taunting fail. Do not turn on the sound.
