Beslan plus Anders Breivik Norwegian island massacre.

Tiny island with one or two ferrys.

Was camping there in the early 70’s and had to cut it short because of impeding Canadian Rail workers strike. Case of get off the island or be stranded for duration of strike.

Lovely little place where everything seemed to be three quarter scale.

It’s not “small”.

Seems extreme to me evacuating soooo many. After all, they’d still be sitting ducks - just not in (mulitple) buildings.

There is a permanent bridge to the island now. The ferrys are not needed that much anymore.
