  1. I was stationed in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the early to late 1980's. The US Airforce had a standing order for us to never attend a large football ⚽️ arena. Only small town local clubs were sanctioned because of possible "crush". But the other issue were the hooligans. Always causing trouble. I never went to any games as it was just too dangerous. And I love football ⚽️.

  2. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Astroworld in the comments. I live in Houston but rarely pay attention to the news, and remember asking my coworkers at the daycare I worked at what happened (they were talking about it) and they were shocked I didn’t know

  3. I remember on the Saturday afternoon my father listening to the ambulance service on my vhf radio when the message came in about the stair collapse,and the full realisation of what had happened unfolded.

  4. This is why I’ve never liked to go too far into the crowd at music festivals

    If I can see the stage, hear the music, and have at least enough space to stick my elbows out, I’m good there

    It’s not so much the crowds or tight spaces that freak me out, it’s the concept of getting trapped in them

  5. Ive been lifted up off my feet and crushed during a celtic european night. Never felt so out of control. Touched back down many feet from where i lifted off, now with only 1 shoe and a ciggie burn in my neck.Theres no comparison to the ibrox disaster but it really made me think .

  7. I remember being caught up in the famous Dalymount Park Crush after football internationals in Dublin, it was frightening
    The worst was trying to get in to see The Republic v Italy, after the latter won the World Cup in 1982. It was so bad that the gates were open to prevent a disaster at the styles
    Most of us got in for nothing!

  8. I have a fear of crowds because of being knocked down and trampled in a crush as an employee at an extremely popular theme park. In the first weeks of a new show people would rush the lake as soon as it started like it was the Beatles. I refused to work that assignment ever again. Oh they scheduled me I just wouldn’t show up. I also couldn’t sue because my father was upper management. People won’t listen to a 5’1 female drowning in people they can’t see.
