If you are told to evacuate an area, please just comply and evacuate instead of asking “why”. You can ask why after everyone is safely away from the area... Had this same thing happen during a building fire, like seriously people are way too focused on wanting to know what’s going on vs complying with directions (for their own safety) and letting first responders do their job.

[@brianwest2775]

My thought too. Hears the recording, the cop and the other hotel owner all saying to evacuate but stands there talking to the cop. Maybe he was thinking a little slow first thing in the morning? Glad that they were far enough away.

[@marvindebot3264]

He was feet from his home with his family inside, i would want to know why as well.

[@donnaml8776]

I agree, 🤦🏻‍♀️ it wasn’t like some stranger was telling him to come into some shabby building. They were telling everyone to seek shelter. A few people, the recording, the hotel owner (which he was able to recognize as a hotel owner), and the police, why question? Why be stubborn? Run find shelter and wait and see. Eventually the reason will revealed itself. If not, afterward go and ask the police. They put their lives on the line, a little trust can go a long way.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

If I was the cop I’d just yell “poison gas, didn’t you hear the alarm?”

Yeah that's the problem with communication, if only we can just instantaneously project everything that we need to tell someone but we can't. Imagine if EMTs dealt with emergencies like that, waiting until you've explained everything before they even start making their way.

@@WalkerKinsler It was a trick question. He said he heard it, but didn't pay attention to it. He saw multiple cop cars, heard a message saying to evacuate, and just kinda ignored it because he thought it was from the cops. The lesson to take away from this is to pay attention to your surroundings.

@@blairs6664 Ah I understand. He also may have wanted to get closer to see what was going on and to see if his building was also in trouble. He lived in the area, so he probably wanted to know what was going on. However, that’s definitely not the best thing to do.

Agreed, albeit in several cases that do not get far and wide attention, there are false alarms. Some areas "drill" so much that they become desensitized to when it's the real deal. Schools i attended decades ago would do tornado, earthquake, fire, and terror attack drills in the monthly. When a real fire broke out once, all of that training was shot to hell. Some kids fight or fight, others freeze completely.

I gotta say, it didn't sound like he was that smart. He sees cop cars everywhere, he hears a recording warning people to stay away and admits he thought it was the cop car doing it, then he is confronted by an actual cop who tells him to evacuate the area and his first instinct is to ask the cop, why do I have to evacuate? He was curious and was actually walking toward what he thought was the action despite all the very obvious warnings. I don't know the man and he might be a great guy but what I am hearing doesn't lead me to the conclusion that he is a thinker.
