This was a prescription for disaster. They announce before every game what exits can be used in an emergency. I told my daughter we would be stuck as we sit next to the top row of the bottom part of the stadium and it takes 10 minutes to get out after the game.
By people around us not knowing what had happened until the 4th quarter, there was no panic. People left normally even when told we couldn't walk across the South Oval and that they had moved the buses to the corner of the stadium.
One thing is for sure -- I won't be forgetting this game anytime soon.
I havent read everything ...this bomb was not in a car?
If you're stuck in a packed stadium during something worse than this, your best bet is to stay put in your seat. The worst will happen in the tunnels and choke points in a panic stampede.
And if you're seated in the lower part of an upper deck, get low, on the ground even, so that the "human avalanche" will pass above you.
It will even be dangerous to be in the "impact zones" just below the upper decks, in the event of a panic setting off a human avalanche.
I just spoke with an aunt of mine who lives in Tulsa. She and her husband were at the game tonight and they saw the area marked with police tape. She spoke with one of the cops and he stated that there were "multiple devices" in the cordoned area. The cops on the scene think that the bomber was trying to attach the bombs to the parked buses when a bomb detonated before he could do so.
They was close to bio lab-keep updated.
