Some people act irrational in time of "danger" ? :)Tbh: don't know why either ;)
People have a tendency to reactly surprizingly fast once their inaction creates an emergency.
It should have been, but people get irrational when they're afraid.
It's an irrational reaction to a traumatic situation. Although we theoretically have better tools to reason with, humans sometimes react in the same way to these situations. Ambulance crews and emergency workers in general could probably fill books with these events.
Don’t be so quick to judge and call them idiots. In a panic situation you can act irrationaly.
When is the point at which freaking out will help?
Not the article; the people panic-reacting to it. 99% of them have no idea why they are scared of it
I like to think that most people, in a real crisis situation, know that freaking out won't actually help.
Because people do weird things under extreme stress.
Not thinking about it for myself. Just trying to figure out what people might be rushing into in a mad panic.
