What maps show bad areas?
I'm totally serious, I get where you're coming from. But if there's an effected area, and all you need to do is get out of there, then you are over complicating my memorising maps, crime rates of different area, and the alike.
Hrusai, I get where you're coming from too (I really do, and what you're saying is fair), but again, over complicating what is really a simple situation. Area A is bad. You need to leave.
In regard to the handy tools, they are cool, but I have a question. Have you ever used any of those tools to leave an area? No. So, in a likely situation, you won't need them to leave Area A either. If I'm shopping in Bristol, I don't see situations where I think, I'd need a prybar to get out of here is A-B and C were to happen.
Using the London bombings as an example. If you wanted to get out of the area, you'd walk or run. You wouldn't hotwire a car, or threaten the guy in the car (car-jacking) or knock some guy off his moped, just to rush to safety. You'd get out using your legs.
Having said all that, you've really thrown me off with the line:

I'm just trying to work out the likelihood of that situation occurring.
Bang, a bomb blows up. You're not injured. You need to be safe, need to leave the area, need to contact those you love to make sure they're okay. You really don't need more than that, do you?
