Film: Human Reaction in Fire. Where Can I get a Copy???
Rank: Super forum user

Some years ago, I saw part of an excellent video (perhaps a BBC Horizon episode???) which showed an experiment relating to human reaction in the event of a fire.
A group of people responding to a job advert, were asked to wait in a room together. A fire alarm was sounded and the documentary shows a very long delay in the reaction of any of the group
The test was repeated with a second group and this time, in addition to the alarm sounding, theatrical smoke was piped into the room. The results were astonishing, with another huge delay in responding and the group actually bullying the first person to respond to sit down!
Does anyone recall this film and if so what is it and do you know where I can purchase a copy??
