| 2018-12-08 |
| (CNN)At least six people are dead and dozens wounded following a stampede at an Italian nightclub, the country's Civil Protection Agency said. The stampede happened early Saturday morning at the Lanterna Azzurra nightclub in Corinaldo, a town in Italy's eastern coast province of Ancora and about 88 miles (141 km) east of Florence, the Italian news agency ANSA reported. The nightclub was hosting a concert by Sfera Ebbasta, a popular Italian rapper who is among the most popular musical acts in the country. Five of the victims were minors and the sixth victim was the mother of one of them, ANSA reported. |

| #8 Personally, I prefer Ballroom Blitz. I couldn't figure the cause of the rush from the blurb other than Rap Concert, so I checked the article. Note the ages of the victims. Post midnight. |

| #7 Oh, sure enough, looking it up reveals that the deaths at that concert were by compressive asphyxia, NOT a "stampede". Journalists lied about it then and haven't changed one bit. http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/polisci/faculty/chwe/ps269/johnson.pdf |

| #4 You are right about the asphyxia, Herb, but the description as a stampede has historical precedent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_concert_disaster |

| #2 Fucking journalists, calling them "stampedes". This brings to mind a bunch of irresponsible people stomping on each other trying to get out. It's not. It's a "crowd crush", too many people in too small a space. The mass of humanity takes on the physics of a fluid and it is easy to have your chest compressed such that you cannot breathe. Stampede, fuck those lying sacks of shit. |
