"At the very least people should be looking over their workplace and plotting out their escape route if something like this happens."

Not just the workplace. When you go anywhere you should always ascertain all the exits you can. Not just for terrorism but for lots of other disaster scenarios such as a fire. The first rule of self defense is situational awareness.

I watched a movie years ago (don’t even remember the name) where a guy and gal were having lunch or something and he says...what do you see? She looks around and says I don’t know then he proceeded to tell her what everyone around them was wearing and doing. Don’t know why but it stuck with me. Ever since when I go somewhere I see how much I can remember...exits, people, etc. before I sit down. Kind of a game I play in my mind. Never thought it would be useful. What a shame.
