Thin alley, over packed.


[At least 44 people have been killed after a "disastrous" stampede
at a religious bonfire festival in Israel, rescue officials have confirmed.]

[Dozens of people were hurt at the Lag B'Omer event in
northern Mount Meron, where annual commemorations
that include all-night prayer and dance were taking place.
Footage on social media showed chaotic scenes as men
clambered through gaps in sheets of torn
corrugated iron - trying to escape the crush.]

yes very sad, even more sad as this was their first big festival since coronacrisis

:sad:


the stampede looked awful (more to blame at that small narrow space since it seemed ok over on the main square)


but on the square kinda funny how they were dancing in sync from left to right
