herd situation, people getting trampled, you realize i'll be unconscious in 30 seconds and bolt, pass out in that 'crowd bottle-neck' you get when exiting a venue normally on top of the people that got trampled. sad, horrible shit.
Most of the corpses were found in the bathroom, pillaged, trying to reach a small window in the back.
The club had a small front door anf it was in over capacity. Due to the smoke people passed out quickly.
To this day we see the news talking about this tragedy. The club owners and the singer who accidentally started the fire are in jail waiting for trial.
I remember in Elementary School they used to do FIRE DRILLS. or do people forget how to deal with fire egress?
Crowd mentality is never a good thing.
Then again, I'm literally a robot and I avoid crowded places...

It's not about being rational. It's a crowd. A crowd has no brain, it's everyone for themselves, there is no room for crowd rationality.
