Playing devil's advocate, if you take a bunch of people and throw them into a situation they're never likely to have encountered before, perhaps it helps them to think "outside the box" and come up with solutions to problems in new ways.

If it helps people make better decisions when under pressure, surely it's a good thing?

We do have sizeable quakes in this country, and may even one day be unfortunate enough to suffer one similar to the one that struck Christchurch, NZ.

We don't often get tornadoes, but they happen occasionally. I don't see much wrong in preparing for the worst.

tornados every day here.

Mostly Panavias? (8-p)
