Quote #7
Then, for a few seconds or minutes, he went out of his mind. (1.22)
This is Hersey's description of Father Kleinsorge's reaction after the blast. Although Hersey doesn't mention fear per se, it seems reasonable to assume that going out of one's mind in response to trauma might have been his mind's protective response to fear. As a result of the episode, his memories from right after the event get a bit spotty.
Quote #8
She was paralyzed by fear, fixed still in her chair for a long moment (the plant was 1,600 yards from the center). (1.29)
This is Miss Sasaki, who had just sat down to get to work when the bomb was dropped. She had enough time to react (or rather, not react) to the flash with paralyzing fear.
Quote #9
Mr. Tanimoto scarcely answered. He had thought of his wife and baby, his church, his home, his parishioners, all of them down in that awful murk. Once more he began to run in fear—toward the city. (2.3)
Whereas you might expect fear to inspire people to get further away from Hiroshima, this wasn't the case with Mr. Tanimoto. Instead of running away or being paralyzed, his fear mobilized him into a sprint towards the city.
