Let's put things in perspective here.On 9/11, with hindsight, it makes sense to say that those who ignored the order to stay put in the second tower saved their lives by not following instructions. But at the time, it probably seemed like a reasonable instruction to make. In this case, these people were on a train that had lost power for about 15 minutes. They didn't really give WMATA a chance to relay communication from "up high" to them. Opening the doors for ventilation would have been one thing. Self evacuating after 15 minutes is dangerous and irresponsible. |
