Their dialogue and surroundings further act as a basis for survivor's guilt--- which causes those who survived to continue

This study investigated the accounts of individuals involved in the London underground bombings in 2005. Throughout this investigation, thematic analysis was conducted on six eyewitness accounts, highlighting their feelings and actions, which came about as a result of the incident.
