The London car bombers could not have destroyed the Tiger Tiger club and killed people in it, experts said last night. The huge manhunt for the would-be mass murderers by police and security services was given new urgency by an attack on Glasgow airport yesterday and the fear of further incidents.

Police think that an explosion here might have been intended to draw panicking revellers out on to the streets, where they would be have been joined by the emergency services. Then another, bigger bomb in a second Mercedes among them could have been triggered, causing hundreds of deaths.

So one has to change one’s thinking. If caught is a survival situation, then you have to not panic. (Easier said than done.) Use Boyington’s OODA (Observe Orient Decide Act) paradigm. Rushing directly away may NOT be the best tactic to get to safety. Dispersion might be better. That is the mob is going that-a-way, we’ll go this-a-way.
