Okay, can someone explain this to me? What happens to crowds of people
during these pilgrimages that causes them to step all over each other?
Does someone yell "Fire" or "free cinema tickets for the first hundred
to cross the finish line"? I mean, I just don't get it. Maybe dying on
the way to a Holy Shrine is the way to go but surely there is some
system that needs to be put in place to prevent these outrageous
amounts of people being trampled to death.
