To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
0 In all, eighteen persons from the sample made telephone calls within the first fifteen minutes after the explosion. The reasons for these calls were analyzed. It was found that seven persons called because they were concerned about relatives or property in the disaster area. One man who was near the scene called his family to tell them he was uninjured. It is questionable whether the reasons why the other ten made their calls, so soon after the explosion, can be justified in the light of the ...tremendous load of necessary traffic that strikes public communication systems during a disaster. For instance, six persons who were closer to the point of the explosion than were their homes and families, nevertheless called home to find out if their families were injured. Curiosity about what had happened was the only motive three persons could cite, and one woman called her employer's insurance company to tell them that a plate glass window in the store had been broken. There were twenty-four persons in the sample who, during the first hour after the blast, went as close to the scene of the ex- plosion as they could get.
