And I, Oil Executive, say it is an imperative climate change does not destroy nature.

searxng? Anyone?

Lmao this is me. (the guy)

Fucking hell i thougjt this was different news

Okay I worked on my post. I believe everything in the title is backed up by what’s written in the article. I need sleep now, goodnight.

Ah okay this is more an error on my quoting the article as opposed to the title. I tried to write my title in relation to the entire wikipedia article but I see I overquoted from the stampede section which makes it seem like it’s only talking about stampedes and not crowd events in general.

One quote from the article that lets me paraphrase in more certain terms than what you provided is in the leading paragraphs “Such incidents are invariably the product of organizational failures, and most major crowd disasters could have been prevented by simple crowd management strategies.[4]”

Could you suggest a better wording that fits into the word limit? I had great trouble fiting the gist of the point within the character limit (I’ve only got two characters left). And had to remove a “might” and “usually” to be able to fit it all in.

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything really. Just trying to share something I learnt on wikipedia and help lemmy feel more full. But I’m aware I can never make everyone happy.

Yep. Not the folks who create textbooks they force their students to buy for ludicrous prices so they can afford their fancy boat.

Unfortunately at that point if you try to move you can risk a crowd collapse which can be just as deadly. So you should be real careful about knocking people off their balance if you try to move around.

Perhaps I should have included this quote from tne article too?

most major crowd disasters can be prevented by simple crowd management strategies.[22] Crushes can be prevented by organization and traffic control, such as barriers.

This is talking about the cause I think. Panic can worsen the situation, but it almost never is the cause. And the panic is nearly universally justified.

The most recent US based example might be Astroworld. And there 10 people died right in front of the concert stage while the thing kept going on. Entire groups of people yelled “stop the show” and climbed up trees and fences to make space. Someone even made it up the TV operator tower and was pleading the operator to notify the authorities people were dying but was completely ignored.

Knowledge should be free

I thought this was the onion.

Law’s good and all. But it needs to be enforced.

In my opinion no one should have the right to own a firearm. But since that’s impossible in america, I’m all for restricting it.

I’m not allowed to purchase a firearm in my country because I have a disability that often causes fainting and seizures.

If I have to live somewhere where people can own deadly weapons. It absolutely is in the public interest to try and minimise the chances of something going wrong.

Health records are checked when applying for social security, for immigration, for insurance. I don’t necessarily agree with the fact they are for these things. But in my ideal world. The public’s right to safety comes before the right of someone to own a deadly weapon. And if they are going to do a background check they might aswell check for conditions which increase risk of fatal firearm use.

If used properly this is a good thing. You don’t want someone who suffers from psychosis or some manic disorders with a firearm.

Obviously it really depends how it is implemented.
