    I personally disconnected from the article with the final paragraph. However, I find the topic of how we respond to unexpected disaster fascinating. One place I learned a lot was the book Deep Survival by Lawrence Gonzales which documents a number of disasters and how people responded and how that correlated with who survived. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/30231750

    Luck plays a huge part, but so does attitude and mental preparedness.
