The passengers at Kings Cross probably thought the same when told to
evacuate the station when it was on fire. "Can't see any problem,
I'll stay here"

Given the deaths occurred on the escalator and in the ticket hall, the
platforms would seem to have been the safest place to be.

People that had just got off the train for Kings Cross were told to get
back on the train. Many passengers refused because they couldn't see
anything wrong. No doubt some of them ended up on the escalators.
