In Korea, the stampede was the result of a bunch of people suddenly collapsing in the middle of the crowded street for seemingly no reason, that's what caused it.

I guess we just have to learn not to panic when a bunch of people around us suddenly drop dead because we now live in a world where people spontaneously collapse, huh?

This goes to sow that the danger isn't just the people who suddenly die out of nowhere, if they do it in a place with a lot of people, they might spook the crowd into becoming dangerous themselves.

Just be careful out there.

Rule #1 don't go into a crowd if you can't maintain a square meter of personal space around you.

Half of all people have below average intelligence, and you are surrounding yourself with them.

Especially nowadays if they're shedding.

I still remember my mom telling me when I was 7, "Beware the mob." She was referring to the French Revolution that caused my family to flee the country, but madness of crowds can happen when they're overtaken by a spirit. If the vaxxed go hive mind they will be dangerous in a likeminded way.

On the upside, if there is an emergency, run a different direction from where the stupid ones are stampeding.

And if you end up at the scene of an action movie, fate has chosen you to be the hero. It’s John McClaine time! Yipeeekayay!

The one time I accidentally got stuck with so many people was the Vatican of all places. St Peter's square. Once people started coming in it would have been really hard to escape.

Stampedes and crushes have been happening for ages. It's a feature of human crowds.

They thought they saw a K-pop star.

Yeah I saw that. I dont even know if there was a celeb. But some people seem to be saying that a rush was triggered by an announcement that some celebrity was in a cafe near by. So maybe teenage girls lost their shit. Cute kid, very sad.

I've been at concerts that have had minor crushes. I have always made a point of getting to gigs early so I can be up the front, to be honest mainly for the view but always with safety in mind. If I was at the front barrier and bad crush came I would request to get whisked over the barrier by a security dude and then hang out at the back of the crowd with room to swing a cat.

I flashed everyone once because I was wearing a G-string and a mini skirt haha the guard didn't lift me over like usual rather grabbed a bit above the waist, flipped me upside down while liting me over before placing me on my feet.

Not worth being crushed in the middle, despite what retards think you'll never make it to the front.

Also the barrier can be used to create a space so I lasted a lot longer than I would have even one place back and often I would be at the front the whole show.

There’s viral collapse prank vids all over the YouTube “shorts” section now.
