Why do people have a fascination with proving others' real life experiences "wrong" using some aggregated idea from a self-appointed authority figure? Statistics and summaries don't remotely represent or contradict individual experiences. Try telling someone who was struck by lightning that, no, they really weren't, because lightning strikes are rare.
- teddyh 5y agoThe original claim was “widespread panic”. I provided a link which argued against it. You said “Snopes "debunking" something doesn't mean it didn't happen at all.”, which I took to mean that you argued that widespread panic did happen. Do you mean to say that the only thing which you are claiming is that at least one person panicked? Because that is something we can agree on. But that’s not what the topic was about.
