So sad, especially at an outdoor neighborhood where people really wouldn't be thinking about something like this potentially happening.
Not even a concert or event or anything.
After the 2010 Golden goal, we ventured out to Granville Street and the crowds moved towards the intersection of Granville & Robson.
As we got towards that intersection crowds from all four directions were all coming there converging inward.
I got pushed up against a storefront wall and felt the weight of the crowd completely dictating my movement and it was a scary feeling I hadn't experienced and still remember.
Thankfully I was able to escape the convergence and exit that intersection but for a brief moment I felt that sense of how these things happen.
Have been conscious of this and nervous in tight crowds ever since.
