with "FINE" and all kinds of things all over the buttons, plus
the growing apathy and cynicism of the people, it is no wonder that
people didn't push the button..
that, and the growing complacency that "it won't happen to me or
around me" lulls people into an inability to react at all to
anything out of the ordinary...
i swear if there was a bomb, and people were told to evacuate,
they'd just stand there without moving for a long time before
anything.. because they'd be:
1 - too slow to act or react
2 - too complacent and believe it's a drill so they will not
care
3 - too cynical and refuse to believe there is actually a
bomb
4 - too self-absorbed to think of anything or anyone else
all these things add up... and from the recent rocking of the
building due to the earthquake, it is evident... while we were
evacuating the building, the public were arguing with the security
who were trying to stop the people from entering the building..
they insisted on going in even tho' the security fellas told them
that the building was being evacuated..
