stampede

I did some research with Google and I'm afraid you are wrong:

Dude! You are an IDIOT! Show us where all the dead are in that "incident". Get a clue.

yes, and indonesia.

One broken arm isn't very high on the tragedy scale.

John

Wait until someone breaks your arm :-) Anyway, people stampedes happen all over the world.

Smile when you say that, fella. In fact, The Brat's dog broke my wife's finger yesterday.

Anyway, people stampedes happen

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

You want weird???

How about "Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump", a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Alberta, Canada. Approx coordinates: 49.749, -113.623

See:

Stampede, indeed!

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

Theyu do happen in the UK. There's the well know underground stairs case during WWII and of course Hillsborough.

Damn, i hadn't heard of it ever either until now. Just one more in hundreds of similar failings over the 1960s and 1970s.

Wanna bet that OP has not heard of any of the 17 concerts at Winterland in SF that resulted in multiple preventable deaths.

He is from SF, so I'll bet he is aware of at least a few..

I str the Hells Angels doing some foul deed one day at a concert up that way.

But that isn't a stampede. Maybe you should broaden your reading skills. Start with things like thread topic headers.

Why ruin a perfectly good bus?

Oh the toxic waste problem, i am sure you could clean the bus with an ordinary pressure washer, and there a way to get rid of the waste.

A steam roller would be more appropriate, when spreading blacktop. :)

No way, that would be a materials reject and you would have to remove it and replace with proper material.
