Some people are just selfish. Selfish isn't even the right word, really. It's too harsh, it's really just about survival. It's easy to think you'll be a hero in situations like that, but the actual act is much more difficult.
Also, in situations like that people often do think about others, but it's not necessarily the person in danger. Imagine it was you on the bus and you thought of intervening. I would be willing to bet that one of your first thoughts would be about someone else, but it wouldn't be the boy getting cut up. Instead you would probably be thinking "What happens to my son if I don't survive this."
