As far as we can know people could have just protected themselves by pushing others away which caused someone else 20m from them to be killed. | ||

It is easy for you to say "ok everybody should just stand still and nothing would have happened!" reality is: you get claustrophobic. There are people pushing all the time from every direction and you can hardly breath, let alone stay on your feet. When you realize that you might die like the people in front you being crushed at a wall/stair and people around you start screaming and collapsing I want to see you standing there, calmly, relaxed and not in panic t.t Of course somebody started pushing. But he is not to blame for panicking, it's either the police or the organizers fault and I do hope they'll be held responsible | ||

People aren't sheep they should be expected to think for themselves. Argh! I'm mad, I'll end this post. U do understand that church -/- narrow place where one stream of people goes THAT -> way and other stream of people goes THATT<- way.. Seriously + church = barely any movement except when its over This event = constant movement Use your brain plz.. + by simply looking at pictures and videos everyone should have realized that u cant blame the people for what has happened.. seriously.. | ||

I know my girlfriend would have started to panic in that situation and I don't think she is a "sheep". Just because you are mentally strong you can't expect everyone to just stay calm in situations of fear, if anything you should defend people that are weaker than you and not call them stupid... I always admire the athmosphere at punk concerts. You got people moshing and crowd surfing and everyone is drunk as fuck and it doesn't seem too friendly on first sight if you have never been to such a thing, but the moment you fall down there is a circle of 10 people around you who all try to help you up again. I never seen that in other big crowds were you have to be lucky if people stop moving and one person actually stops and helps you up again because he cares about you. | ||

This will not only deter people from coming to future loveparades, but also deter people from attending overcrowded events as a whole. What has that got to do with anything? Why would it be good to deter people from going to the loveparade? Nothing ever really happend like that before, let them enjoy the music and have fun! Overcrowded is only when the organisation isnt good enough, which in this case was the situation, but the Loveparade in Berlin had so many ways to exit the parade, It couldnt have happened there. So you saying because of your two reasons, its okay that 18 people died, just to support 2 statements? Why arent you banned yet? | ||

Hint: guess why its called panic, someone panics and tries to get out and uhh he/she pushes and pulls oh wait panic wouldnt come if the tunel wasnt overcrowded... ...jesus | ||

I would guess they weren't the root of the problem which lead to these events. The problem comes from the fact that you have a wall of people, all wanting to move in seperate directions. Imagine trying to get from the front of that crowd to the back. It would be near impossible. How do you move through a crowd like that? People are going to have to move out of the way to let someone through. And when they move out of the way, they are forced to push other people. Being pushed in a crowd so densely packed results in waves of pushing, as one person is pushed into another who is pushed into another etc. At some points, there is nowhere for people to go (like the concrete edges of the tunnel) and when the wave of pushing reaches these areas, the people there have no choice but to push back. This results in the people in the middle being crushed from multiple directions. Then someone falls down. People who are being pushed in that direction are now stuck trying to fight against a crowd so they are not pushed onto the fallen person. They will not be able to stop themselves from being pushed onto this person and the falled person will be stomped. People freak out, start pushing back on the crowd trying to get this person out which leads to others being crushed. People being crushed try to find a way to get out, resulting in more pushing as people need to move to let them through. As members of the crowd realise they are in danger of being crushed, they panic and try to get out, which results in more pushing. This snowballing effect causes the disasterous effects that we've seen. No-one is necessarily at fault. Its a problem with cramming 1.4 million people into an area deemed safe for only 250,000 and with no clear layout for allowing the movement of a crowd. | ||

It happens in a life-threatening situation. It's a primal instinct and how one would react is impossible to know. In this situation a small stairway was opened to allow people to get out of the overcrowded areas. The crowed moved in the direction of the stairs. Just imagine 100000 people pressing in your back and you can't flee. These are the stairs btw. ![[image loading]](http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2446/massenpanik118vgrossgal.jpg) | ||

How the hell do you not blame them first? It was foreseeable that the entrance was too small for the amount of people. How is that not at all on the planners. | ||

Maybe you were in trouble at 12, but you weren't in enough trouble to lead to you to panic. Anyone whos been in a situation where they have legitamately been in a panic will know that its not a choice they make, its a very normal reaction to a dangerous situation. | ||
