It had been 8.46 a.m. on 9/11 when Elia Zedeno, who possessed worked on earth Trade Center for twenty-one years, listened to a booming explosion and noticed the building lurch violently south. She grabbed her desk, taking her foot off the ground, and screamed, 'What's happening?' How can you react to a tragedy? Can you be paralysed with fear? Would you worry and lose control? Or might you all of a sudden discover hidden strengths in yourself? WITHIN THE Unthinkable, award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates a few of the most harrowing catastrophes in history to be able to patch together how we react in a crisis. Through engaging interviews with survivors and experts she uncovers our instinctive reactions, shows how primitive elements of our brains take over when we're put under pressure, and demonstrates that we can, in reality, coach ourselves to do better. Most of us have a 'devastation personality' that discloses itself at moments of crisis. WITHIN THE Unthinkable you may become familiar with yours.Who knows? One day, understanding how it works may save your life.
