Me too. Back in the 70s I spent a lot of time on commuter trains in Tokyo. The platform guards used to shove people in so they could get the doors shut. I saw a man fall out when a window shattered under the pressure. And I saw a fainted woman passed overhead and out of a window onto the platform.
But to get crushed or trampled to death or infected at a religious event is the ultimate in pointless death. Thousands of those idiots at the Kumbh festival on the banks of the Ganges a couple of weeks back will now be struggling to take their last breath.
Do you remember this one in Saudi Arabia?
I just wish people would leave their kids at home when they risk their lives.
