Terror in Brussels – how humans help each other

Acts of terrorism such as witnessed in Brussels show how humans help each other in crises, according to Dr Chris Cocking, Senior Lecturer and crowd management expert.

24 March 2016

Chris has been on the subject and almost every local station in the country has carried the item – slide to 20.18 minutes.

On the day staff and students at the º£½ÇÒùĸÂÒÂ× observed a one-minute silence in memory of those who died and were injured in the Brussels attacks, Chris wrote in on how people react to such atrocities:

“Far from dividing people and communities – as those behind such outrages often intend – the murderous acts of the few can often unite the majority to respond positively in their aftermath instead.”
