My initial reaction is to save them... but I'm open to reconsidering if I have a reason. Ie: if they appear to be armed (read: probable soldiers), I will probably revert my decision to save, unless I recognize them as fighting in my benefit.

It's remarkably hard to see people/ducks coming when you're in a train... especially in time to have any sort of long decision process.


Well that's precisely why the example generally calls for strangers. Tongue
