Panic as a collective behavior responce to social crises has received considerable attention from social scientists, a classic case being the "Invasion from Mars" broadcast of 1938. Rational behavior in crises has also been well documented. In several recent incidents in which air raid sirens have sounded unexpectedly there seemed to be neither panic nor rational behavior. Rather the general response was to do nothing, even among those who believed that the sirens signalled an air attack. In the most recent incident reported here, the failure to respond effectively to the signal seems due to an attitude of resignation. Some aspects of this attitude are discussed
