Underpass by toinette

Underpass

Once I rode my bike home on a saturday and had forgotten about the soccer game that was about to end. When I reached this underpass from the other side, I climbed of my bike and was nearly immediately in a trap: I could not move my bike forward nor backward, I could not move myself properly, all around me were people shouting, holding beer bottles in their hands. I don't know how, but somehow I managed to get out and sat down on the nearby dyke with my bike. I think nobody got every seriously hurt there, so probably it's not as dangerous as I thought in this moment. I am not made for huge crowds and I definitely also panicked because some time before, a lot of people died in a tunnel at a festival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Parade_disaster
Nowadays I'm normally not thinking of this situation, but I take care not to go there when a soccer game is beginning or ending.

Nice shot especially in b/w.

I understand. I like quite near to a big stadium where they hold very big events and when they do, I do not go out in my car because I will stuck in traffic for hours, I do not walk the dog because there are too many people around drinking, shouting, etc.. The whole area becomes consumed with people and rubbish... oh the rubbish is just disgraceful.... Anyway, I am so glad you got out of there ok anyway.
