How did the escape from district 12 happen?

Ойын-сауық

Hi friends! This week we look at the evacuation from district 12 at the end of Catching Fire!
When Gale and his crew-mates help 800 citizens escape district 12, they then spend 3 days in the woods before being rescued by district 13. But how did this evacuation actually take place? How were 800+ people not spotted? How did district 13 find them?

    Gale did mention that the TVs shut off when Katniss blew out the arena so I'm guessing that they just shut down the power in 12. I always pictured a bunch of people pushing over the fence and just running over it into the woods. I might've imagined this, but I thought Gale took everyone to the lake. That would be a big clearing so I bet that's how D13 found them. They were probably looking for survivors by hovercraft. Gale mentioned that a lot of people were afraid of the woods and headed towards the road. I think the firebombers were just more worried about the few thousand people trying to escape on the road than the 800 going through the woods.

They are both fiery and strong but Cressida seems to be calm and reasonable as well so they’d be a good match. I think the Capitol are so unbelievably arrogant they probably didn’t think that District 12 citizens could get out without peacekeepers.

    I definitely see your point, and part of me thinks it could technically work out between him and Cressida, but remember that the reason why katniss came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t work out between her and gale was because they were both fiery people too. If gale and Cressida are the same way, it might not work out in the long run.

    If District 13 wasn’t able to make any sort of contact with Gale and the group for whatever reason, they would have had to walk really far just to get to salvation. In a previous video, explaining where the arenas are located, Jess worked out that there was about 100km between each district by looking at the map. Gale may choose to tough it out in the woods, but it’s hard to keep tabs on 915 people at the same time. It wouldn’t be very long until some are killed or fall ill. Even though Gale sometimes can make Katniss’ life that much more difficult, and he is a jerk in a few ways, you’ve gotta admire him for what he did. He’s seriously underrated in this aspect. Sorry if I repeated things that were said in the video, I wrote this before I watched it.

    The bombers probably didn't see the people because there was smoke, blood, debris, panic, etc. So spotting eight hundred people getting out with all the chaos is probable. To get eight hundred people out, they probably split into small groups to stop being detected as one huge group.

  • @KMXC17

    Maybe they didn't have enough bombs to spread in both the district and the woods. The bombers knew twelve was small, so they probably didn't bring many spares. When they saw people going for the woods, they probably thought, "They're injured, or won't be able to make it, they've never gone into the woods before. Better not waste our bombs on them."

    I think the people may have escaped in groups and regrouped and/or rounded up by Gale and his crew after the escape. Being expert trackers, it wouldn't have been hard for them to track down stragglers. As far as letting them go, I don't know how precise the bombers are. if you only have a few bombs and your objective is to destroy the town, then wasting your bombs on small handfuls of people doesn't make much sense. Also, it's very difficult to bomb targets in wooded areas because it's hard to see and hard to get a direct hit without hitting the treetops. If they were in a big group, who's to say they weren't targeted? They say they saved 800 people, but I don't think they ever say they started out with 800 people. If it was a big group they could have been targeted and hit but that doesn't mean they got them all.

    Not sure if it's been done, but I've been wondering - how do they determine where the tributes are going to stand during the countdown? Because in Hunger Games, we can see that Katniss and Peeta aren't standing next to each other on the platforms, it seems to be rather random, as in tributes from the same district aren't next to each other, but is it really? Or would the Gamemakers manipulate it in a way to get some tributes closer to each other to make the bloodbath more interesting? In Catching Fire, Katniss seems to be standing between Cashmere and Chaff, maybe? Which doesn't suggest any particular order either.

    Personally, I think it might be a mixture between both of your theories. In general they might randomly pick the positions, if I remember correctly, Katniss even mentions this. However it is surely possible the Gamemakers decied to spice up the beginning of the games to give them a good start. Maybe they also do this if they fear a tribute might cause trouble, so chances are higher they get killed right in the beginning.

The Capitol needed the coal from District 12, would they have resettled and rebuilt it? Who would they have moved in there? Would they have let citizens from other districts move in by offering an incentive, something like if families with children moved in they would be exempt from the reaping for a year or so?

I'm assuming school was out for a week or so so that the eligible kids could prepare and maybe even say goodbye to there family's and when school resumed what happened? Oh little Jimmy died in the hunger games so he dosnt need to get his math paper in? It maybe did school not resume for that family for a while? Or did they not resume until after the hunger games were over? I'd love it if you did my thearys in a video but with your own thoughts of course!
