Underground Cities. I hope they're stockpiling diapers because they're going to need them.

Don't be entombed.

2. They will try something or anything out of sheer stupidity.

Out of synchronicity.
It could be anything to grasp any semblance of power.

Remember it happened to Rome before the Germanic hordes invaded.
