Stampedes and crowd crushes are just terrifying. That famous nightclub fire video that had people die from getting crushed at the exit was a total nightmare.
I actually wonder if there are ways to survive or at least spot a crush early. It's not something I really worry about, all things considered, but it will definitely be in my mind whenever I decide to do my Mecca pilgrimage. Though considering the gigantic crowds involved there, there's probably nothing you can do even if you spot very early signs of a crush anyway.
