Fight,Flight, Or Freeze?

During 2011's earthquake there was a mixture of freeze and fight. Being in a yard surrounded by cars stacked three high there was only two choices of get the hell out and risk getting crushed in your escape or staying and taking the risk until the shaking ebbed.

I chose the latter, but it's not something I'd want to do everyday. Nothing fell thankfully. The noise and sight of 250+ cars all rocking back and forth in bizarre circular motions was unnerving to say the least
