    Bloody hell.

    As someone who grew up hearing about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster](http://www.Hillsborough.com/ Disaster), this is terrifying. There’s nowhere near enough crowd management in place, which means that a panic could be tremendously dangerous. I don’t remember the people-density above which a crowd basically starts acting like a fluid, but I’m pretty sure this is above it.

      Yes very scary. It just gives me another reason not to go to London. Not that I need many, horrible place.

      I should imagine those that want to do us harm will be looking at this. A bit of social manipulation, a ‘weapon’ scare and the panicking commuters will do the rest.
