Thought For The Day
“Evacuate…evacuate…evacuate!” such was the
order given to the citizens of The Village at the command of Number 2-the
Judge. But did the citizens know what to do, or where to go in such an
emergency? Where were the assembly points for the helicopters? The command came
through the public address system for them to evacuate, but not where to go, or
where to assemble for evacuation by helicopter. It could be that the
citizens had been drilled for such an emergency, that fire drills had been
carried out from time to time. Well it stands to reason that The Village would have had a
fire station, standing by in case of an outbreak of fire. Perhaps a Mini-Moke could have
been converted into a small fire engine!
Then again, we do not actually see the
citizens being well drilled for such emergencies as for fire, or an evacuation. People calmly lining up
ready to board the helicopters? They seem to be more in a panic. Running this
way and that, eventually a large group running away from The Village along the
beach! But at least The Village
administration had the sense to have all those helicopters available for
just such an emergency!
Be seeing you
