I hate stampedes.


In this tragic incident, 150 Hindu worshipers, including 40 children and 45 women, are dead and over 50 injured when rumors of falling rocks caused panic during a pilgrimage.

Very sad, but it's also strange that these sorts of things keep happening. Not to be flip, but maybe they should limit the number of people on the narrow roads or build more temples with larger capacity or something. I'm just saying that these things seem preventable.

The way I see it, deadly stampedes should only occur at rock concerts and soccer games.
