Most people fail to do the important work that can save their life at the time of the disaster.
But why does this happen? When looking for an answer, it should be noted that the incident of September 27, 1994 in which 852 people were drowned in the sea.
That morning, at seven o'clock in the morning, the ship carrying MS Estonia 989 passengers left from the Talin harbor. He had to cross the Baltic Sea to Stockholm. But the ship never reached there

After six hours of leaving the harbor, the ship got stuck in a storm, the door in front of it broke and the water swiftly penetrated inside.
Within hours, the ship sank and with it, the crew of 852 passengers and crew was drowned.
Why 852 people immersed?
The speed of the tragedy, the ocean storm, the announcement of the emergency after half an hour after the ship sank, and the time of reaching the affected people of the rescue team ... In spite of all these things, relief specialists were stunned by the death of so many more people. It seems that many people simply drown so that they did not try to escape.
An official report said, "It seems that because of fear, many people lose their ability to think or act urgently.

Many people were so scared that they could not be extorted. Many were so shocked that when other travelers tried to show them the way they could not move, they could not take any action, even when they were screaming. "
What happened after all?
A person who can answer this is John Leech.
He is researching the behavior of people in distress situations at Portsmouth University.
They have studied dozens of tragedies all over the world for decades. He was present at the same time an accident occurred on November 18, 1987 in King Cross Metro station in London.
In this fire 31 people were killed. Leech found that almost 75 percent of people in a deadly situation are not able to think properly or find a solution to save lives.
Only 15 percent of people are so calm that they can think properly so that a solution to escape can be found. Ten percent of people are so screwed in such a crisis that they reduce the chances of others to escape. Whose life is saved?
After all, what are the 15 percent of those who understand right thinking during the deadly crisis and take the necessary action.
Leech says that this question is wrong. The question arises, why are those who could survive, why they are killed, while all the solutions to their survival are present.
 
The question is, why do so many people disagree with their changing situation at the time of crisis and why they give up?
Leech says, "It is not necessary to save life that you need special skills. You just need to know what to do?
He says, "As an expert to explain the means of survival during the fight, my job is to teach people how to avoid death."
Delay in movement in case of emergency
What do people actually do in an emergency, it is not clear?
While making the processor for defense, the engineers assume that people come into immediate action.
They believe that people will react immediately after listening to the alarm or smelling or smelling the boat.
The fact is that in many incidents in decades, it has been seen that the real challenge is to bring people to Barkat soon.
On August 22, 1985, Boeing 737, traveling to Corfu, was about to fly to Manchester Airport, that its engine was damaged.

The British Government's Air Accident Investigation Branch said in its report, "The most important thing is that the vessel did not even fly that it was stopped and every attempt was made to quench the fire in it. Yet 55 people died. The big question is why the passengers did not get out soon.
People were in a reluctance to show the real danger to get out of their way, or not to get stuck as animals.
9/11 - Keep sending many emails
The most accurate example of people's inaction was seen during the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers of New York.
You might be thinking that those who have survived after colliding with the first aircraft building will run away from the earliest exit.
The truth is that most people have reversed it, as if they were looking for excuses not to leave the building.
According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, people who escaped survived by taking an average of six minutes to reach the stairs.
Some people stayed in the same way for half an hour to see what to do. They kept thinking that what happened next and wait for others to come out first.

It was found in the study that the survivors kept calling, keeping things in drazza or locking their office. Many people emailed, shut down the computer, changed shoes. Many people went to the toilet too. A lady coming from the cycle to the office even went so far that she went back to the office and before leaving, she went to her office to wear a track sauce.
This type of inactivity, laxity or distress is also a psychological explanation of the behavior of working continuously - in a rapidly changing position, failing to get the shade of ourselves or to set goals to save lives in that way. Inability
According to psychiatrist John Leech, the reason for this is that the events are so fast that your brain is not able to deal with them. * itemThe events occur more quickly than the ability to think. More Ready People Avoid
Jeremy Chartkoff of Indiana University says, "If life gets in danger, emotions get up faster, as a result, as many measures to avoid, they do not get as much understanding. What can be done, it can be dangerous in terms of thinking, because maybe you can not think about the best way to escape. "
John Leech says, "Whenever I go by sea level, first of all I see where the life boat is kept. If I need to, I only need to come into action, it will not have to think about it. "

Those who survive in the event of a devastating crisis, are not necessarily more brave or courageous than the people. That's why they save their lives because they are better prepared for it ...
Mutual help mentality
Take a second example. In the attack on the London Underground train on July 7, 2005, 52 people were killed and 700 were wounded.
Steve Reichor of the John Drury and St Andrews University of Sussex University gave a report after talking to the survivors.
According to him, people trapped in a smoke-laden tunnel for several hours did not know whether someone would save them or not. They did not even know that there would be no more explosions.

But the attitude of most people was to cooperate and assist this amphitheater. Psychologists have interpreted this as a way of thinking that the mindset of the people at the time of danger is to help each other.
Not everyone's reaction
The British-Irish Atlantic Odyssey sailing team planned to cross the entire ocean in 30 days in the month of January 2012 from the east to west.
After 28 days, when they were about 800 kilometers away from their destination, Barbados, the yacht overturned by a wave and started drowning.
According to Broadcaster Marc Bomton, who rode with the sailing team, all of them would be drowned if many members of the crew did not have to take shelter, emergency light, satellite phone, GPS tracker, food and drink after putting dive.
According to Mark Bowman, two men of the group were hit by a huge shock and one of them was completely silent and did not get a word from his mouth.
Ask yourself a question

It is possible that you will not fall into a deadly problem. But it is better that you imagine that you can come to a crisis.
In such a way, you can get ready without any hesitation.
Psychologist John Leech says, "It is just that you ask yourself a simple question - 'If anything happens then my first reaction will be?' If you have the answer to this question then the rest will be all right.
