It appears that we live in a world where not only will most people refuse complicity in a disaster in order to save more lives, but where many people reject outright the idea that they should have any considered set of moral standards for making hard choices at all.
We live in a world where most people refuse complicity in a disaster in order to “maintain a certain quality of life even though it costs many lives”.
Perhaps this is the reason for opting out of answering the question, acting is just to hard. The decision and its consequences is for someone else. For most people this is the life they live. The power to think about and decide what to do in a disasterous situation is always in someone elses hands and is therefore not needed to be considered or contemplated at all.
I see this as one of the worst aspects of centralized power arrangements in communities because “complicity” of all citizens in man made disasters either through direct actions or inaction should be understood and acknowledged by all. Perhaps then prevention or a change in behaviour would produce better outcomes.

Then again, probably not.
