It was no attack and panicking can be often a natural reaction of people when something suddenly happens. The behaviour of people was not dumb and not idiot, it's human. At the moment a fence dropped people started to panic because NOBODY knew what was happening. It's true that the attack on the Royal family during Queensday in 2009 is still fresh in our minds and people get scared too easy, but you can't blame them for their behaviour. Try to learn something about social psychology and I'm sure it will make some more sense. When people suddenly start to panic in a couple of seconds, I'm sure you would've run to find cover too. People didn't know what was happening. @ Tian: Next time you're to call people idiots I am going to take actions against you. In my opinion you're showing pretty aggressive behaviour on this forum and I do not like that. It wasn't appropiate to call these people idiots while you weren't even there and you can't know how you would react.
