Things got out of control. Everybody wants to celebrate Halloween after 2 years of not celebrating it because of Covid. Yes, things like this can happen. Cardiac arrest can happen when everyone is pushing and there is not much oxygen to breathe if the area is overcrowded. It is most definitely hot and sweaty in the area so the air is already bad. Anyway, take care everyone. Don't let the fun that you miss kill you.

The way my jaw dropped when I read 100.000. People are insane. People forget that corona still exists and that it's highly dangerous to even go to a concert with over 20k audience. Forget the COVID, the fact 100.000 people thought it's a good idea to overcrowd. It's Halloween. Not Christmas or New year's Eve. Even then it would be dumb. Stay with your families or friends. I just can't tolerate dumb people I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the lives that were lost just cuz of a dumb festival. May they rest in peace. It's just a sad way to go. It's just sad and angering.
