Clearly not for the average person at that accident scene where the girl died, and indeed I believe that for most people - especially in a crowd - the first and last action is "shock". Maybe someone will phone for help.
My first aid training comes from hostile environments, where catastrophic bleeding fits in before airway. Unlikely to find someone with a missing limb down the high street, but there's not much point in CPR if the blood you pump is gushing out of the femoral artery.
