  While convergence behaviour archetypes can explain behaviour of individuals
who actively converge on and participate in crises, less is known about
individuals who converge on an event and choose to remain passive i.e.
"bystanders". Bystanders are important, because of their proximity to an event
and their function as an "eye-witness". To investigate the role of bystanders
in crisis communications we analysed Twitter communication generated from the
2016 Munich Shooting event. Our findings revealed the impassive convergence
behaviour archetype could influence an event as a passive and rational
"eye-witness", by gathering and sharing information close to where the event is
occurring.
