I asked this question simply because it was the same question asked on the Sky News channel here in Australia at the time of the siege and a lot of people replied to it with different answers via their stream. As individuals we all react differently to different situations and while there are bound to be similarities nobody reacts in the exact same way to a situation. A similar question about how you would feel if it happened was asked the day after on 2UE (radio) and people rang up the station and talked about it so that’s why I asked it here.

I lost my first girlfriend/best friend in a car accident when I was 17 and spent years blaming myself for it because I didn’t save her and I would do EVERYTHING I could to save my Wife and daughters and if it had been me stuck in the café with my step daughter I would have done everything I could to get my step daughter to safety.
