A stampede at a rap concert in central Italy killed five young teenagers and a woman who had accompanied her daughter to the event and 59 people were injured. People were rushing towards the exits after some accounts have said that and irritant was sprayed (like pepper-spray) and one of the barriers near the exit gave away and cascades of teenagers tumbled over it, and fell on top of each other.
This event took place two days ago on Saturday, at an overcrowded disco which may have been the result of organizers selling too many tickets. reports had said that an irritant was sprayed which caused the panic an led to the people rushing to get out the doors. This article was created two days ago and at the time it was said that it was too early in the investigation to see if any safety violations could've played a role. Safety should be assured to everyone no matter where they are, and nobody deserves to day in a way like this. Because people were so focused on themselves and their own safety, they didn't stop to think that they're killing someone else or putting them in critical condition.

This is so sad especially since it was a stampede of people that killed other people. The fact that all of it started from pepper spray. I hope all the people that are injured will be ok, and that the families that lost members will be able to recover. That concert was just supposed to be fun, and it turned into this. - Joziah German
ReplyDeleteI wish that there were more regulations on businesses so that they couldn't oversell tickets so that these kinds of things wouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad and this wasn't supposed to happen, concerts are a place to have the time of your life and not end in a tragedy . -Alma Alvarado- Cabrera
ReplyDeleteThis is such a tragedy and should be prevented in the future!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf it's true that the ticket sellers oversold tickets, they should be punished and / or given tighter regulations. Hopefully the people injured during the concert recover and that those who died are given proper respect.
ReplyDeleteThis is awful. I only hope this leads to an improvement in out safety. When something like this happens, it's clear something needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteGod this is terrible. It’s always sad to hear about young people dying. Nobody should die in a stupid matter like this. I hope all the injured people get better and may our thoughts and prayers go out to the ones who were killed.
