The air seems to be getting thicker and hotter
and you start to choke on the smoke.
You realise that you may only have a few

people trying to get out too.
The station is still packed with other
fans from the same concert that you’ve
just been to…
Of course you need to get out as fast
as you can.
But this is not a game. It is an
examination of how you would behave
during a real-life emergency.
At the end of the evacuation, you will
have to account for your behaviour by
being interviewed briefly by Dr John
Drury from the Psychology Department.
Now close your eyes for a few moments
and picture yourself in the scenario.
At the signal from the experimenter, open
your eyes again and the evacuation will
begin. ….
