No trains, electricity, or water involved... however, they certainly ran out of luck now.

LUCKNOW, (July 2, 2024) — Thousands of people at a religious gathering in India rushed to leave a makeshift tent, setting off a stampede Tuesday that killed at least 116 people and injured scores, officials said.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the panic following an event with a Hindu guru known locally as Bhole Baba. Local news reports cited authorities who said heat and suffocation in the tent could have been a factor. Video of the aftermath showed the structure appeared to have collapsed.

At least 116 people died, most of them women and children, said Prashant Kumar, the director-general of police in northern India’s state of Uttar Pradesh, where the stampede occurred.

I have heard of dick cheese and I have had throat nuggets, toe jam and belly button lint, but never heard of armpit cheese. I am guessing using deodorant constantly instead of cleaning your armpits monththly so that a layer of deodorant and sweat salts coalesced into a cheesy layer?

I saw the Dixie Stampede once in Branson.

That is if my "Standard Handbook of Scientific Pahjeet Taxonomy Categories" is accurate. I assume it is, because it's from the 17th printing.

Wow ... this article is one of the most interesting I have seen on DR. Good job, Hightechdude.

I don't remember seeing a good quality overhead video of the crowd members fighting to live ... The ones who lived sat up on top of the ones who died ... never seen this before. So a Mom would shove the kid up to shoulder height, and the kid lives, and Mom goes down under the body mass.

"Doing the Monster Mash," with real winners and losers right there for the world to see.
