Fact #169434
When:
Short story:
The Who play in JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.Full article:
Diane Wilson (audience) : We got pretty to the stage by the time The Who came on.
This was just about 3 years since the tragedy in Cincinnati, where at a Who concert, 11 people were crushed to death or suffocated by the
out of control crowd.There were times, up front, when the closely packed crowd swayed in different directions. It felt like being in a rough ocean, and you had no choice but to go with the movement.
There were a couple of times when someone near us would lose their footing, and fall to the ground.
But I think everyone up front must have had Cincinnati in the front of their minds, because immediately everyone around them would quickly put out a hand and pull them up!
It was like an unspoken understanding between strangers!
