According to Durkheim, solidarity can be organic or mechanical. Organic solidarity refers to the unity resulting from the interdependence of the members of a society. In organic solidarity, people cooperate and depend on each other, . This can be linked to the wreck of the Express Samina, where the need for cooperation and interdependence was critical to the rescue of the passengers.
