Heck, most people throw rationality out of the window when they are confronted with a raging fire anyway, heh. Its just protecting the family and self-survival instincts which drive their minds in those moments.

And thats completely understandable.

Yes, I did definitely understand his line of thinking...'Get the thing out of the house...That's what the door is normally used for'...Of course, when he was able to think more clearly, he was kicking himself for not throwing it through the window (instead of on the porch where two very large propain tanks were)...Whoops


I would think that I would act rationally, because I'm extremely logic-minded, and have had to deal with a few 'emergencies' when my mother was staring open-mouthed in a complete state of shock unable to move...Her inaction concerned me far more than the situation, but I handled it...I can't remember ever 'freaking out' at any time in my life...Of course, I still think we can't really be sure what we might do in any given emergency situation
