One thing that does make him upset, however, is disaster movies. The latest to hit our screens is 2012, which Galea says makes him frustrated about how badly Hollywood gets it wrong.
Disaster films convey completely the wrong view of how most people behave in these kind of situations, he says. Hollywood shows people panicking, but my research shows that 9.9 times out of 10, people dont turn into crazed individuals, but behave quite rationally. They tend to help each other, too.
That, says Galea, is a crucial part of his job. The knowledge that most people react in a humanist way helps me to get in up in the morning I come to work knowing that people tend to behave in a supportive, helpful way in emergencies, so any way we can help inform intelligent building design and disaster strategies will help them to survive.
