Highlights

  • Here's a lesson in humanity that'll last you a lifetime.
  • A YouTube channel called Hammy TV wanted to conduct a social experiment to see how many people it would take for someone to help a man fix a flat tire. Ryan from the team stood next to an old Mustang with a jack in his hand and waited patiently for someone to pull over.
  • After hours of waiting, only one person offered help. The cameras, set up to record the social experiment, eventually ended up capturing a brave man's story instead.
  • Eric had suffered second and third degree burns on 50 per cent of his body in a fire that claimed his home and belongings and two beloved pets. In fact, Eric had stopped to help Ryan despite being in pain and right after his physical therapy appointment.
  • "Everybody needs a little help here and there," he tells Ryan in the video.
  • The video then shows Ryan and his team gift Eric a Play Station and couple of games. Touched by Eric and his story, the YouTube channel has made a special request to viewers to help Eric out as best as they can. Take a look.

In a major win for the Internet and the collective power of humanity, Eric's Angels (as his GoFund page calls all his supporters) have managed to collect more than $196,000, way beyond their target of $10,000 in about three months.
