That's over 500 individuals, as well.
In this Case, as you say,,,all 500 individuals had over 45 min. to seek out their final ending. That's not something I'd care to be part of. Nor, would I care to be part of the "Disaster Scene" that others have to clean up.

They had no choice, I hope I will.

Thou hast tread a path few would seek willingly.
