Aren't youth hostels the safest places to stay?

If motels are usually the meeting places for criminals and luxury hotels in foreign countries are targets for terrorists then that leaves out youth hostels as the safest and cheapest place to stay. When I travel I always choose to stay in them and after the killings in India I will cancel all my bookings in Mumbai. To cancel is the only way I can afford to stay in such hotels anyway! :D

act-dead to survive the death-act

from what i read on the news and saw on tv terrorists in mumbai would roam the building and kill people. if you try to run away you certainly make yourself a target and if you rather sit doing nothing then you probably have better chances if you pretend you're dead. do you think acting dead could help you survive a terrorist hostage situation like the one that happened in india? it's possible.

lie down among other people's dead bodies, cover yourself with blood in the face and hands, take very very small breaths and stay still. that requires training. acting schools could offer that. the act-dead kit will basically have capsules to simulate blood stains and shot wounds.
