Security cameras of one of the most watched cities in the world – especially since it suffered the largest terrorist attack in history – showed how the stampede was first released by noise and then as a cascade effect. while people saw others run.
The effect lasted a few minutes but for a few blocks around the city’s flagship corner, a tourist spot for its billboards with eternal lights and a favorite spot on the New York theater scene: the mythical Broadway.
