Reminds me of the TRUE STORY, of a man in Chicago who lit himself on fire to protest the war in Iraq (this was around 2005). He chose the freeway off ramp at 8:30 AM during rush hour. and he lit himself on fire. NOBODY EVEN NOTICED. A sanitation streets worker found the remains a few days later. Only through forensic evidence were they able to identify the body and upon searching his apartment found a journal with a description of his intentions. At least 2600 people drove right by the man's burning body writhing in agony and no one even noticed.
Assuming that cars were moving at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour and a car takes up 30 feet per car (including space between cars), then in an hour about 10560 cars will pass a single point. Assuming that the body was burning and writhing for fifteen minutes, then about 2640 people witnessed that event. Nobody reported it.
