I think they're talking about the context of it being a crowd crush.
Yeah 100% it's that.
thank u
Thanks for adding it in.
I mean… it does say “Crush” in the original title. But not everyone knows what that means.
this was actually a surprise/something of a mandela effect to me too?! like i swear these were usually called stampedes, just like with animals, but apparently “crowd crush” is in fact the more common term 😅 the more you know 🌈
I used to work crowd control. For us a stampede is when people are moving forward and those that fall down are trampled over and can’t get back-up. A crowd crush is when the density of people is so tight that you either suffocate or get crushed. Both are incredibly grim spectacles.
oh! i didn’t even consider there might be a distinction 🫡 thanks for the correction
If you are anyone else is interested the following video is a good 40 second introduction to how a crowd can behave. It was filmed on a potato and shows zero gore. Suitable for work. Hopefully the “piped bot” will show up below too: Oasis Manchester Crowd Surge
