<Narration>
The crash of a Brink truck on a Miami overpass still raises disturbing questions; January 8, 1997 was just another crowded, rude, and crazy day in Miami traffic until an armored Brinks truck flipped and broke open, sending nearly a million dollars in cash swirling over the highway. Hundreds of motorists screeched to a stop, grabbing whatever money they could. People in nearby houses raced outside, shouting and scooping up bills. When it was over, a tiny handful of people returned some money. Firefighter Manny Rodriguez turned in a huge bale of bills worth $330,000, and one teenager returned some quarters. However, nearly half a million dollars was missing-stolen by everyday people like you and me. In the following days, some rationalized the mass theft as a kind of Robin Hood action because the truck had crushed in a poor area of town. Most people claimed to be shocked. Now we are all left with hard questions: Why did a few people "do the right thing?" Why did the majority do the "wrong thing?" What causes people to act virtuously, even if no one is watching? What would you or I have done?
