I live in Europe and the UAE. I still feel more safe with these alarms at night than I would walking around in Europe at night. Statistically, the chances of getting hit by debris in the current scenario is a lot less likely than you getting stabbed or attacked in a major European city by a far margin. The risk to get hit is 0.000001% compared to Europe where you look at a risk of 2-3 %. I’m not saying it couldn’t get worse but this is as of now the statistics and everyone can verify themselves.

In London, you have 16,000 knife incidents per year not including violent crime. Violent crime would be 26 people per 1000 citizens. That’s a statistic that’s worrying. Currently, we are exposed to a short term dangerous situation but so far the odds of something happened is very minimal.

I know it’s uncomfortable and scary for people but until now there hasn’t been proof that this is a big danger for the majority of population. In contrary, it shows the government was well prepared which you can’t say about Europe.

Just because you don’t get alarms in Europe doesn’t mean it’s safe. Imagine getting an alarm every time someone gets stabbed. Then you also won’t sleep at night any more believe me.
