I was at the gym with some of the girls I work with, and the fire alarm went off. Because the gym is in the center where I work, I know what the alarms mean and when to evacuate and everything.
The class I was in kept going though, and when the alarm changed from 'alert' to 'evacuate' (accompanied by a voiceover saying "Evacuate, evacuate the premisies now") we walked out of the class. No one else left the class, and the instructor didn't stop the music or stop the class!! (O_o)
Only a few people were leaving the packed gym, the voiceover was still going, none of the workers were moving to get the people out.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!!
Imagine if the fire was four storeys below the gym, you couldn't smell and smoke, and by the time it spread, you could no longer get out of the gym? How would those employees feel? What if someone died because they didn't evacuate?
It boggles the mind.
