Montanero has a good point. A lot of people will follow, if someone takes a lead.

Example ... there was a terrorist attack at a mall in Kenya a few years back. Most people who were trapped inside cowered, and did not move. But there was one guy there, an ex-SAS commando, who looked for openings and then smuggled people out of the building. apparently he got quite a few people out.

so if people appear"frozen in place",dont lose hope. they wont necessarily stay that way if someone takes the lead.
