I have been in a crowd like that at a concert where people started to get crushed and it creates a mass panic. I suspect it was stress-induced panic on top of multiple vaccinations. They were trapped in an alleyway between buildings, so the only way out was forward or back, which is where the pressure was coming from. When I got stuck in a crush, the only way out was sideways, parallel to the stage. This was not an option here. I can identify with that sort of panic. To this day I get anxiety in crowds and you won’t see me down in the mosh pit ever again.

When Zep came to Dallas in 77 someone thought it would be a good idea to sell all the tickets in advance from one central location, the hall where they would hold the concert Memorial Auditorium.
So there was a mob of Zepp fans and some people injured, and a lot very angry.
I was not present but my friends were and succeeded to get in - excellent show! I think it was my first time to see a Laser light display which was a treat!
