The cowling blows off an aeroplane's engine and the other engine catches fire... someone films it and it ends up on the news when personally I'd be calling someone I loved in case I never spoke to them again. Everyone seems to want their fifteen minutes and everyone is an action film maker.

To be truly honest, I don't think many people want to intervine when the attacker is soaked in blood and has a knife and cleaver in his hands, the filming of it all can also help in terms of evidence. What would I do if I was there though? I'd run the **** away.
