At Least We're Level Headed, Rational Folks...

I was always surprised by the civilized level of posters at subsim. That's why I even registered. The sad thing is I am surprised by the civilized level at this forum, and not at the un-civilized levels at other forums. Good show everyone

And a tragic thing that happened. negligence at planning, one small entrance and all that

I can't decide if these people are just ignorant or if they really mean what they posted. I hope it is the former (and they are just posting those comments because they can hide behind internet no-identity) because if it is the later they are just SICK!

From my own perspective I was caught in 30,000+ crowd in 1989 when Czech Republic got rid of communist government and let me tell you something: I am by no means weak person, but being part of crowd of that size is very strange feeling. Nothing went (too wrong) at that time but had those 30,000 people gone nuts then I (and I believe pretty much anyone here on subsim) would have crapped my pants.

People posting such stupid comments, do not have the faintest idea what they are talking about....

I was also caught in a large crowd that began to panic. The sheer energy of such a large volume of people is unimaginable. Even the 'big' and 'strong' would be easily trampled or suffocated. At that size, the group takes on a collective mind of it's own.
