"Drury explains that a crisis, even a minor one such as a train breaking down in a tunnel, creates a ‘psychological crowd’ out of what was previously an aggregate of strangers. You suddenly share a common fate and your sphere of interest ramps up from the personal to the group." ___ I wonder how this fits into a scene [1] that happened last week in Sao Paulo when bus drivers started striking and the metro became overcrowded. It wasn't due to a crisis, per se, and the metro didn't break down but sensibility surely went out the window. My own assessment of the video below is that no one saw themselves as part of a crowd/group, but as individuals. 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXycKeyDKXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXycKeyDKXk (btw, I shared this as an 'aside' on HN a few days ago)
