Why do we freeze in the middle of a fire? Why do our senses of sight and hearing change in an emergency? Why do things seem to move more slowly? And most importantly, how do we override these instincts to help us survive and thrive?

@37:00– @37:28 😩😭🥰 well said 💜
20:00 Thanks. Today I replaced smoke detector batteries that I pulled out 2 days ago. And I initiated a 10-year battery life smoke detector that had been sitting dormant atop the refrigerator. Put that one upstairs, where there are 2 now.
A brillant documentary, I think everyone should watch
Part of why it takes me a lont time to become comfortable in a new place is i dont settle down till i know where the doors are and supplies are and am sure i can find them. Where they lead. When i move homes or jobs it can take a few months to finish settling.
They are right on one thing, bad things will happen and they do happen. They can happen to anyone and for those who survive those events, whether it's 9/11 or the Oklahoma City Bombing, their lives are changed forever. However, What their survival and resilience shows is how they have shown how to not only survive the event, but also survive the trauma of it and live again. For someone who experienced his own traumatic experience as a child a very long time ago, while not even knowing why he experienced it in the first place or even remembering anything before the event itself, I feel inspired by these survivors. Those who survive a traumatic experience in their lives now have a second chance to live their lives to the fullest. To me, that is the best gift imaginable.
Can anyone tell me how these airplanes got to there ? I mean in America the government almost know everything especially the big stuff and they just come out and say talban did it come on know be responsible and plz convince me
Boring old news
Thank you for this. It has helped me to better understand why things happened the way they did when my cat was run over ten feet in front of me. I was outside to get him to keep him safe, but he had run across the road. Then we heard a car coming, and I froze. I saw everything happen; how the driver actually sped up a bit, and how shocked my cat was when he didn’t make it across. If she (the driver) had slowed at all, if Henry (my cat) had run one second sooner, or if he had made it three more inches, he would not have died. But the tire went over the middle of his body and flipped him around. I saw the look in his eyes as the tire got him. He was just trying to run to me, when his everything was taken from him. Then the driver had the nerve to say to me, “that’s why I don’t let my cat outside.” The whole reason I was outside in my pajamas was to get Henry and bring him back inside before anything could hurt him. She was just an impatient driver, speeding so she could get home two minutes faster. She made the decision to speed in the first place, and sped up when she saw him. She never braked or swerved. The only mark on the road was the river of his blood that came out of his nose and mouth. He was gone and there was nothing I could do. I never really blamed myself, but I did think of all the little things that could have been done differently. People did criticize me, but they weren’t there. I would have done anything to save him, but I didn’t cross the road because thirty years earlier, my parents had drilled into me that crossing the road was not safe. They were right. After all, I was physically unharmed. The utter devastation I felt that day was probably the lowest I had ever been. That’s what happens when your worst fear comes true right before your eyes.
Much like a scar, I will always see his blood on the road. Every time we drive over that spot, I see it happen again. It will never un-happen.
God is in control though
Jesus is the way, the life, and the truth
I beg to differ with the flight attendant. I was never afraid of flying, but just watching the fake evacuations made me kinda scared lol..Crashes are rare, so I rather not focus on it and all the risks in life
She survive the 93 also wow she needs a movie
The first rule of disasters is definitely don't panic.
The first rule of the aftermath is to remember that everyone at every moment is doing the best they can at any moment with the information they have at that moment. Judging one's actions based on the substantial knowledge that one gets after the fact will not help so long as it's a judgement. When you know better, you will do better so it's a matter of learning and not at all of judgement.
4:20 when you get that's gut feeling you listen to it
When you find yourself in a situation where someone is telling you ways to SURVIVE if this or that happens…Well perhaps you should not be doing what you are about to do…We are so programmed to not be afraid that we are immune to it…Like Air Travel (ABSURD concept)
Yeah, crazy. And how did AOC survive January 6th?!? A miracle, really.
I love how informative and well made this channels documentaries are
Thanks wonder

Why did this happen to me? Why not you? Horrible things will happen to some of us for no reason.
Such good guests and experts. Best advice and genuine stories. My only disaster was being caught in a tsunami, and almost in a Boeing 777 over Heathrow when the plane filled up with smoke, (the pilot got us down onto the ground). But during the tsunami, we really didn’t recognize it, and we were Kiwis! Our country is Pacific Rim of Fire – ie., earthquakes, eruptions, and tsunamis. When the water started coming in, we (my father, brother, and I) jumped onto a log on the beach, but my father realized this was a problem and dragged my brother and Me to the sea wall and up. No earthquake that we could feel. Anyway, since this & the 777, I’ve been obsessive about knowing what to do in an emergency, looking for the emergency exits in any building I go into, and watching emergency videos. One thing – don’t get caught in a tsunami.
Sir Loved Your Videos.. Can You Please Make Video On Pan Am Flight 73 Hijacking Story ??
Thank you for this. My parents were in New York when the towers went down. My Dad is a Vietnam Vet and knew the moment the first plane hit that he had precious few minutes to grab my Mom and get them away from the buildings immediately. They were only delayed by my Mom wanting to do her exercises of the morning. I was in Indiana with my heart in my throat for about four days until they got thru to us in North Carolina. Thankfully they made it back. I haven’t been able to watch anything/read about it since. So thank you.
Rip🙏
I honestly check everything thing around me if there is broken pipes , faulty electricity because of how my nose is really just a cosmetic due to me not being able to breathe through it or even smell
I think this should be introduces to schools for children. So that they learn other emergency situations besides fire drills.
Happy New Year!!
When I was in high school – that was 50 years ago – one of the teachers (sociology?) projected a copy of a floor plan of a building onto the wall for 5 seconds, and asked us to write down in what direction would we have taken to escape from there, had there been a fire!! Not one of us got it right! NONE of us!
Yet, when he put the put the floor plan up again, and left it there, we all saw how easy it was to do it.
At first, we got it wrong because we only had FIVE SECONDS to get it right! See, when we are under pressure we think we know how and what to do, but it's never that simple!
Wow what a great video. It made me do a lot of thinking durning the whole video. Like counting the rows of seats on an airplane to an exit. Using the emergency brake if your brakes go out. The 16 year old who thought of using her emergency brake w/quick thinking is a hero in my book. I bet the driving school uses that in there training of our young drives in there school now. What a smart young lady she is & quick coping skills to think on her feet like that. I'm so impressed w/her.
Thanks for this video. It was very interesting & I learned a lot from the survivors & there stories are priceless & writing in history now. God bless them & the ones we lost in all these terrible acts of destruction,
Chris from Missouri
As this video points out, when confronted by something that's too illogical or frightening to comprehend, our brains deny what we're experiencing. It's very common that people will feel like they're watching a movie or TV show, because we've all seen such things depicted fictionally as special effects. I've heard survivors of the 2011 Japan tsunami say that, if they were safely out of danger themselves and didn't need to try to flee, as they watched the unimaginable destruction happening.
The Tenerife airplane disaster is probably not a good example to use of surviving, because only a very small percentage of the people involved even had a slight chance of living through this. A Pan Am 747 was taxiing on a runway when a KLM 747 that was taking off and was just off the ground struck it broadside. Hundreds of people on both aircraft were killed in seconds. The only portion of either plane that remained partly intact was the very front of the Pan Am plane, meaning the only survivors were crew members or some of the First Class passengers. And they had very little area to cover to get out of the fragment of the aircraft that was left.
Fear doesn’t motivate… it turns people off. Wow that explains a lot about every situation.
I thought flights are fueled precisely because otherwise it will overload the plane weight; how in the world did they fly for 4 days
I survived the beirut bomb and sometimes wish I didn't
Just shut your mouths 9/11 incident was planted by US and shown in Simpson cartoon as well
Damn homegirl lived in the White House ?
American Airlines B757 Slammed Into a World Trade Center 2001 9/11 Manhattan New York and Local News reported to it News Accident Earthquake World Trade Center Slammed Into Fire Engines and Trucks and Vehicles!!
Damn this video popped up right after Peninsular Malaysia was hit by a massive flood
Some are lucky some are not, those who survive learn from those who didn't💯
Even experienced & trained emergency staff can suddenly panic in a crisis.. The truth is NO ONE can say how they would react in a crisis.. bcs anyone can blank out & freeze, no matter what & how much training somone has had..
It's quality kindly
Kindly focus on your sound
Amazing documentary, thank you.
Marileen Brown is beautiful.
