shopping in harrods with my friend who wanted to see the kittens on the top floor
as we were going back down the escalator, a little boy on the upward bound escalator tripped at the end and fell over. seconds later, there was a mountain of people falling on top of him. others were frantically jogging backwards to avoid the struggling mound, but it was no use, and inexorably they were swept to their doom.

by the time someone stopped the escalator, there must have been about 20 people piled up like some kind of tourist gang bang.

comedy gold.

Other than the kittens and Harrods
That was roughly what happened in the Kings Cross fire in 1987 on the upper circulation level.

In 1977, no-one died
