Title: Aircraft Evacuation and Human Behaviour
Post by: Fireguy1230 on June 15, 2007, 11:15:20 PM

Hi

 I am currently in the process of developing a training package to educate Airport Fire Service crews in the various ways in which people react when faced with an aircraft emergency/evacuation scenario. Basically i want to ensure that the crews have an idea of what the passengers will be doing and how they will be behaving during the initial stages of a serious incident.

 Does anyone know of any reports or case studies that have been done on human behaviour in fires? It doesnt have to be aircraft related, as long as it involves large volumes of people attempting to vacate a structure in an emergency.

 Cheers
