They're in shock and just sit there, or delay getting out until the smoke or fire get too close.<BR/>I think the reporter interviewed a couple who survived a particular crash and found that they had talked through the process of getting out before the plane even took off ... knowing that the closest exit row is three rows back, and the front exit is eight rows up. It made the difference.<BR/>That's what I do every time I fly now. I may not pay much attention to the flight attendants' drill, since I've heard it plenty of times before, but I for sure count the number of rows to the exits!<BR/>It's much the same in anything else. Assess the risks, think through (and practice!) the best responses.<BR/>Good luck to you, Mayberry. I've been reading your blog for a few weeks and it's a regular one for me now.Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288414444000169938noreply@blogger.com
