 Not necessarily, in the East End there are a lot of fruit shops open 
 all night or open very very early in the morning (Green Lanes' fruit 
 shops are open 24 hours for example)... And then the papers arrived, 
 announcing the "impact" to happen at 9:23 (there's a lot of mysticism 
 about the number 23 incidentally). The shop owner closes up at 9, 
 hoping that he will be safe. 
  
 In fact, the blast will obliterate the whole of London. The only ones 
 happy are the ravers listening to their music and having a hug and a 
 kiss. They are none the wiser about the impact as they've been raving 
 at a squat party all weekend and the panic they see when they come out 
 they misinterpret as people partying. 
  
 Therefore, whilst having a negative image, there is a postitive image 
 as well. Their dying moments have been beautiful ones, ones where they 
 have entered a new world where the panic is nonexistant. The 
 "straight" people have lived their last moments in absolute fear.
