World War Z (The Great Panic - Parnell Air National Guard Base: Memphis, Tennessee, USA)
The first interviewee is Gavin Blaire, blimp pilot extraordinaire. He remembers the great panic very well because he got a blimp's eye view of the situation. The highway was congested with cars, and those vehicles were filled with all kinds passengers. There was all kind junk, Gavin even saw grand piano smashed on the floor. People walked along the side of the road hoping to get a ride even though they were moving faster than the cars. A few miles later, Gavin saw what the commotion was all about. Zombies were mixed with the crowd and doing what they do best. Some people were trapped in their cars, some shooting through the windows and giving zombies easy access to them. The walking dead ate their way through I-80. Gavin wondered about the people he saw down there that night. Did they think about what they were doing there? Did they just go through with the crowd? He relate the story with American journalist in Moscow in 1970's. The man performed an experiment and stood by the building's door. Others walked by and thought that he was standing in line for something and joined him. He got the line long enough to go around the block. I like the part when Gavin relates the incident with one of the experiment conducted in Moscow. It shows the nature of us human beings that how we will follow anyone or anything without proper information or without asking any questions.
