In the third chapter "The Great Panic" of World War Z written by Max Brooks it is a collection of interviews detailing how people around the world are dealing with the news of what is going on. This chapter had a couple interesting parts one being the interview done in Bridgetown, Barbados detailing how they had amassed a super defense of sorts with the construction of a bunker. They had the works, they had food, water, energy, and enough guns for an army. Yet the downfall of this plan was that the people inside the bunker decided to live stream what they were doing to the whole world and in doing so, a lot of people found of and decided to attack the house and take it for themselves. The other part of this chapter that I found interesting is that of the interview done in Denver, Colorado detailing the battle of Yonkers. The battle of Yonkers was supposed to be a turning point for America when it came to dealing with the zombies, yet it wasn't. The battle ended up showcasing how little we really knew about how to deal with the zombies. For example the masses of ammunition used, yet not a lot of results because of the lack of knowledge of how to kill them. One interesting part that I found when reading this section is how humanity is reacting following these circumstances, they are abandoning all sense of morality when it comes to making decisions.
