In fact, The Brat's dog broke my wife's finger yesterday. Anyway, people stampedes happen >all over the world. But not as much in some places. People stampedes are like freeway traffic jams, or blood clots, with weird dynamics of their own. The reason for the traffic jam is sometimes the traffic jam. John

Hello, such panics did happen some years ago in the UK too. To avoid overcrowding of people, soccer arenas in the UK only have places with seats, but not for standing visitors. They choosed the wrong location this year, when the "love parade" was in Berlin, nothing like now happend, because there was enough space to leave the event when necessary. Bye
