Interesting.
There is a way to deal with a lost password, you
know.

I have heard that it is normal for a proportion of the general population to run
towards a violent disturbance of any kind: explosion, gunfire, people fighting
with broken bottles, people screaming as they are crushed by a collapsing
temporary structure, etc. It seems to be instinctive rather than rational. It's
probably related to the way people slow down to gawp at the aftermath of a
vehicle collision.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'd say otherwise...
1) Bombs tend to clear out other bombs in their vicinity by setting them off or
breaking them.
There are several examples of that not happening. Multiple explosions are not
that rare. By the way, this occurence is an example.
2) Paniced people tend to run away from the explosion, not toward, and you are
more likely to get crushed in the rush than hit by the bomb.
You are more likely to get crushed it you run toward the people instead of
following them.
Trying to help is great, but make sure you are safe first. Otherwise, you'll be
another victim in need of help.

Serious terrorists tend to set second bombs with a few minutes delay to kill
first responders.
In my ill-spent youth, we were taught to use "reconnaissance by fire"
to make bombed areas safe for medics. (Ie, to shoot up anything that could
contain another bomb before we let the medics start rescuing people (:-))
