Possibly unease that their perception of reality and the state of their own body, can be rendered inaccurate?
- rawfan 9y agoI was once in an underground train tunnel fire. There was no real danger (at least I'd like to think so), but it was interesting to watch how people reacted. In some folks eyes you could see hysteria taking control and the brains shutting off. They wouldn't have noticed if they trampled others to death in this state. Luckily around 10% were completely calm and managed to calm down the others. The scary thing really wasn't the fire but the people who completely lost control over their bodies.
