… at a certain tipping point the SPECTACLE begins to CONSUME it is personal SPECTATORS, quantity alterations high quality, especailly of crowds, ‘critical mass’ was attainded at the Bund in Shanghai on New Year’s eve (1):
Commemorating the December 31 2014 SHANGHAI STAMPEDE at the Bund

What we need is a renaissance of diversified human scale enjoyments at numerous locations, a revaluation of neighborhood and neighbourhood.

Exciting adequate the Hong Kong ‘South China Morning Pos’t (constantly properly informed on mainland China) runs right now (3/1/2015) an article with this heading:
"Censors suppress Shanghai stampede coverage as blame game starts" with a sub-line "Local media sources say unprecedented difficult controls imposed on news of the tragedy" and the very first lines… "Shanghai authorities have brought down a wall of strict censorship on neighborhood coverage of Wednesday night’s deadly stampede, as questions mount more than how such a tragedy could have occurred in the mainland’s wealthiest and very best-managed city. // Local sources said the censorship was "unprecedented and harsh" and officials were worried that they could be blamed for the stampede that killed at least 36 individuals. // A police supply mentioned several Huangpu district officials and police have been likely to lose their jobs more than the incident."

Of course this tragedy is not simply because of a specific predicament in 1 of the largest Chinese cities, ‘stampedes’ happen all over the planet, in all kind of differing scenarios. (1) Nonetheless mass gatherings, festivities, tend to be one particular of the frequent causes. If a single desires to avert reoccurring than government and city authorities – from all over the planet – want to reassess mass-gatherings and festivities, start steering away from them, initiate gatherings on a more human scale, cease pushing huge numbers in every little thing all the time. Stampede examples adequate that could have been prevented, in the sphere of giant football stadiums and mass-prades, with one current infamous instance in Germany, about which I wrote this essay in the year 2010:

(1) Crucial MASS I quote a web page from the South China Morning Post with this big size image (2250×3000 pixels)…. (this as direct access to the news paper’s web site for a certain web page might be limited):
"A mainland photojournalist at the scene of the New Year’s Eve stampede in Shanghai sensed one thing was wrong minutes just before the crush started. Recalling his narrow brush with death, Guo Xianzhong, 36, a Southern Metropolis News photographer going to from Guangzhou, stated the Bund seemed overcrowded as he waited to ring in the new year. Guo was capable to escape the crush and the photographs and video he took from the centre of the stampede captured the incident in vivid detail, going viral on the web. They supplied a blow-by-blow account of the stampede prior to official accounts were released. They also helped to set the record straight about some misunderstandings, including claims that the stampede was linked to a scramble for coupons to a nearby nightclub. "The location was certainly overcrowded, there have been screams and cries. My instinct as a journalist told me something’s going to come about," Guo said. He mentioned he climbed onto a rubbish bin, and from there managed to get on leading of a wall beside the staircase exactly where the stampede took location. That spot gave him not only safety from the crush but also a complete view of what occurred on the ground."
