SmolTenk
Yeah. But I have found that jumping into action can, at least to a degree, be trained.
KiteRocket
And the prevailing thought at the time was to give in and submit because it is too dangerous to fight back.
Gestalt7
Correct. Up until this point the guidance was keep calm, let the negotiators deal with their demands, everyone goes home in one piece.
Nah, they knew what going to auschwitz meant at this point. But to fight you need to believe there is a chance.
MySquishyBrains
They're talking about the plane hijackings on 9/11.
They didn’t know the consequence of their inaction.
moostang
Now we know and will do better, right?
serpentinebaboo
The only ones who had gotten word of what was going on caused the plane to crash into a Pennsylvania field.
BeerAndChips
This. When they knew they wouldn't be hostages, action became the only option.
Up until 9/11 hijackers would just reroute the plane to a different country, and usually leave the passengers alone if they cooperate.
Come to think of it, that was probably part of their plan: assuming that passengers would just roll their eyes and offer no resistance
Direct91
Not making a decision is making a decision.
OmgOptimized
Numerous studies demonstrate that our brains do not work that logically.
Fuck you. You wouldn’t have done shit either. In fact, MOST hijackings don’t end like that. They couldn’t have known what was happening.
I probably wouldn't have. Most people wouldn't have and most didn't. Thats why they were able to do what they did.
crazyspelling
Nah, until then, Hijackers just wanted to divert planes to other countries and make a speech, so procedure was to wait it out.
When flight 93 heard they weren't just going for a ride, they fought back and made the hijackers crash the plane in rural PA.

4% of people in studies act in life/ death situations. 4%. It's a very low number that people don't believe. They believe they'd act.
Many people dont actively thunk about it either. There is a reason the army teaches you to react while someone yells at you
Wait, what? I thought all that drill sergeant stuff was to do the opposite?
They are drilling actions into you. Move, observe, communicate clearly etc. while under stress so you will instictively fall back on >

The only ones who had gotten word of what was going on caused the plane to crash into a Pennsylvania field.
BeerAndChips
This. When they knew they wouldn't be hostages, action became the only option.
BeerAndChips
Up until 9/11 hijackers would just reroute the plane to a different country, and usually leave the passengers alone if they cooperate.
BeerAndChips
Come to think of it, that was probably part of their plan: assuming that passengers would just roll their eyes and offer no resistance

Not making a decision is making a decision.

Numerous studies demonstrate that our brains do not work that logically.
serpentinebaboo
Fuck you. You wouldn’t have done shit either. In fact, MOST hijackings don’t end like that. They couldn’t have known what was happening.
Direct91
I probably wouldn't have. Most people wouldn't have and most didn't. Thats why they were able to do what they did.

Nah, until then, Hijackers just wanted to divert planes to other countries and make a speech, so procedure was to wait it out.

When flight 93 heard they weren't just going for a ride, they fought back and made the hijackers crash the plane in rural PA.

4% of people in studies act in life/ death situations. 4%. It's a very low number that people don't believe. They believe they'd act.

Many people dont actively thunk about it either. There is a reason the army teaches you to react while someone yells at you

Wait, what? I thought all that drill sergeant stuff was to do the opposite?
SmolTenk
They are drilling actions into you. Move, observe, communicate clearly etc. while under stress so you will instictively fall back on >

This is why I watch disaster/accident/riot videos sometimes,to see what people really do in such situations.It's enlightening and concerning

Studied this in school. Bystander effect. More people watching, more likely it is no one will do anything.
crazyspelling
Oh wait, that's for helping. Are you talking about being threatened?

Contraire my friend Trump would have acted in a heart beat. If it was not for those pesky bone spurs.

That’s one thing we can all agree to hate the nazis for; the misogyny.

The sad part is that it is getting harder to differentiate between sincere idiocy, bigotry, racism, and hated and sarcasm.
Snoopy101x
That line is really blurred.

I'm pretty liberal and it's a crazy how soft people are now days. Easily hurt and willing to blindly cling to a cause they know nothing of.
