In his book, the unthinkable: that survived the disaster - and why, Amanda Ripley outlines three stages of the reaction was the victim when caught in a disaster. I could not help but recognize that resemble the five stages of death, as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross formulated.
There are important differences, however, and I think this half before being faced with an emergency situation can help you survive the odds.

The first step is for bothDenial.
It 'a commonplace in fiction, especially mystery. Someone with an unusual problem or unexpected abused and answered with the idea, it's like a movie, just as if they themselves are on the big screen.

Ripley tells the story of a woman in a tower at the World Trade Center, and the way in which he denied the seriousness of their situation, even as they descended the stairs.
The second step is counseling. People in the World Trade Center, wasted a lot of timediscuss what to do to be around.
The third step is to act.
My theory is that many victims go through stages of anger and bargaining (Kubler-Ross model), even if you do not focus on Ripley.
The main difference lies in the situation. Kulber-Ross was terminally ill people who really had no medical facilities for treatment related.
Many people in emergency situations have options to take measures.
If they remain in denial, but their chancesreduced. The woman on the World Trade Center survived largely because they have followed their people down the stairs. It also tells of a man if his team had not decided, down the stairs, he could remain in his office and died admits.
Ripley made a point that many people are dying from disasters because they do not act. For example, in a great fire, country clubs, people were referring to a program of fire, had pointed out the exits to and told to leaveimmediately. They have the most, but some were still in their seats.
I do not know this for a fact, and it is impossible to prove, because no writer can interview the dead, but I suspect that the dead do not remain in denial - just fifth stage Kulber-Ross went to death acceptance.
However, the acceptance of a medical problem and a fire you can walk away from, there are two different things.
Ripley goes to a lot of research and studies in his book, and it is goodworth reading. And I think if we get a single out of it, is that we prepare.
An important mediating with the head of security had to carry out regular fire drills complete, had a few injuries. Unlike many others on the World Trade Center has worked, they knew where the stairs were and how they are used for building.
But the most important preparation is all agreed, to respond as quickly as possible. You know, where did they go - especially in aPlane. Please respond facing a potential disaster and see for yourself quickly and appropriately to spare, so you and others.
Do not accept what they have not. I do not think Kubler-Ross was sick to give advice, and should not do it.
