[SPEC] Who so few people left in the city?

Vacated is one thing, but they'd certainly be hiding -- or at least, by the later parts of the attack, herded by the military into "safe zones." I don't think it's implausible that the city would seem pretty bare in the wake of all this.

Maybe lots of people are hiding in the subway tunnels? Or, if there is a biohazard, maybe they've been ordered to stay inside?

If a monster attacked NYC when I was there, I'd just hide in some alleyway under some rubble or something. That's probably what most people are doing: hiding.

I don't know. All I remember from news footage of 9-11 was people walking slowly on foot out of the city. Emergency services had extenuating circumstances I know, but it did not seem to be an orderly evacuation to me.

Maybe it is a red herring ending, or maybe everyone has managed to leave that area.

Just my 2c, please no NY'ers or Americans take offence Smile

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I dont think any one would take offence, it was a horrific day! and i dare say that a lot of the people you mention were in shock as was most of the world! and that could explain why a lot of people were walking as opposed to running!

Shock would do it all right, but what I meant was if people felt ok to walk that day, maybe as long as they couldn't see the monster they would fell ok to walk also, thus taking longer to evac than the timeline of the movie.

Gahh... it's early in the am here, I'm making no sense and arguing with myself. G'night Laughing

If I was in New York when a freaking huge... THING... attacks the city... I would follow a very basic instinct we all have.

Heres the thought process.

Hmm... Big dangerous thing in the middle of the city that wants to eat me... I think im going anywhere that leads to where the monster ISNT. *begins running the completely opposite direction of wherever the creature is, and occasionally switches it up incase it runs my way.*

Maybe they're running back into the city to look for someone.

Luckily, I don't live in a big city; so risk of physically-impossible-huge- monster-attack is very low.... I'm more likely to deal with erupting volcanoes, floods, lahars, or racoon attacks instead. Oh, and maybe Bigfoot. This is his stomping grounds.
