Only he Stopped to Help Fix a Flat Tire in Social Experiment Gone Right

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.

Here's the thank you message they posted two days ago:
