Survivors helped others even while still perceiving a real danger of death

Evidence

One possible explanation for the prevalence of supportive behaviour in this emergency is that survivors felt that the danger had passed: since the explosions were over, perhaps it was no longer subjectively an escape situation. If this was the case, then survivors would calculate that there was little cost or risk attached to giving help. However, in both the interviews and the secondary data, there was clear evidence of a continuing perceived danger of death. Qualitatively, survivors referred to concern that the tunnel would collapse, that the rail was live, that there would be a secondary device; quantitatively, only one interviewee (and none of those quoted contemporaneously) said they did not feel in danger of death, while 12 interviewees (and 70 of those quoted spontaneously) said they did feel in such danger. — John Drury, The role of social identity processes…, 67
