After a Beyonce concert, apparently a 10 year old girl screamed because she saw a large bug and thousands of black people stampeded in fear, with many running onto an escalator causing it to run extremely fast, piling up people at the bottom.



Some of the footage on Facebook is amazing.

Seen gangbangers from the twin cities scream like a child if a bug just landed on them like it’s the end of the world.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

There's a lot of personal cell phone videos on Facebook of the panic. People were running all different directions over and through anything that got in their way, including slower and knocked down people. The panic rapidly got worse and worse. It looked like an explosion of people.

It was amazing to watch the extremely rapid, exponential expansion of the hysteria, all over a bug.

The bug likely did survive. Everyone ran away from it rather than towards it.

I never have liked crowds. I avoid them. Concerts, Sports stadiums. Not for me. Kid screaming over a bug? Thats nuts. People panicking over a kid screaming? Even more nuts.

P.S. why are there so many cowboy hats but beaver are not more valuable? Running from a screaming kid I doubt many have ever even been in a pasture.

I live on the river. When townies come out for a party or fish fry, the over reaction to bugs amazes me. These are people from a small rural river town, should know better.

Same way when we take some people to Canada. Guys using 1/2 can of bug dope a day during a mayfly hatch because the bugs are “terrible”. But out of five guys nobody has a single bug bite.

Last year a guy that came up to Canada to help pour concrete for our new building. During the pour he yelled “oh my god” and took off running swinging a square nose shovel. My son thought a footing form must have blown out. Nope, a pine beetle landed on his shovel handle. Lmao …… Don’t get me started on irrational dragon fly fears!! lol

We are becoming “super civilized”, to a fault.

Not nearly as bad as what happens at soccer matches in Europe where people die in the stampedes.
