    We will see!

    Traditionally it’s been a day for young people to go out partying and clubbing in costumes.

    But last year 67 people were crushed to death and we had an official week-long period of mourning. We will see how Halloween is treated this year.

      Wow that looks bad. Crowd crushes can happen at any large event like concerts or festivals. A few happened in the USA recently. As it always is, in this case it was a planning issue, more people showed up then expected and there were barely any police to respond once things went south. I’m sure it’ll dampen this year’s events but the incident isn’t necessary because of halloween.
