re: #280 HappyWarrior

Yeah chaos.

Having been caught in a relatively benign stampede once (it was at a Berlin mosque where they were displaying a relic that was purported to be a hair of Muhammad [saas]) it’s disconcerting, to say the least. In my case, thankfully, the crowd was friendly, not panicky and the worshippers were all in a good mood, nothing bad happened. But when you’re in the middle of a densely-packed crowd, and that crowd moves forward simultaneously, yeah, for a second or two I was thinking, “Oh, shit”. But then the crowd stopped moving and an orderly line quickly established itself.
