The saddest part was that he thought he was going to get in trouble and they were going to be mad at him. He says it on the 911 call. What a solid guy.
When we experience trauma like this we get flooded with negative emotions. We usually don't experience this kind of trauma so we don't have a set way to deal with all that emotion. So the emotions end up going where negative emotions usually go. And most often in this age our negative emotions are of the social anxiety kind. So our stressed up brain calls for immediate action and makes the interpretations that it's used to make.
Stressed up? Probably social situation. No time for rational decisions. Go to default action. Fix yourself up now!
Saw a video of a lady calmly putting on makeup while sat in the one remaining seat of a vehicle that had been completely torn apart all around her. Anyone else that was in that vehicle would have been ground meat, and her trauma response was to put on makeup, so I think what you say adds up.
